> There is a difference between non-repeatable in same state and non-scientific.

No, there isn't.

> Applying absolute standards of rigor is ironically also unscientific.

The rules governing science are not determined by science itself. Science experimentally tests propositions about facts. Rules about science are propositions about other propositions. Hence, science has absolutely nothing to say about its own rules. Therefore, propositions about the scientific method are necessarily unscientific.
