It's not necessarily false, it's just less rigorous.

So we can call it light science. Or amateur science?

People shouldn't be discouraged from practicing science.

Or we could call it pseudoscience? The rigour is what makes it science. Maybe it's false, maybe it's not, but right now we can only speculate.

I'm not discouraging anyone; in fact, I'm encouraging repeating the experiment with more rigour, that is calling for more science.
