This makes very little sense. A theory is a very
humble thing. All it takes is one demonstrable
experiment against it and it vanishes.

It does unless one is so in love with their theory they reject those
'demonstrable' things. In fact, it never even reaches to 'theory'
unless one proposes falsifiable and testable predictions but that
doesn't stop people from claiming their notion is not only a 'theory'
but 'true'. So called "Global Warming," or "Climate Change," is one
example as proponents have never proposed falsifiable predictions and
get quite agitated if you ask them to because, after all, it's 'true',
so there is no need to 'test' it.

What kind of predictions are you asking for, a one-hour lab
test for climate change? Climatologists most certainly
make falsifiable predictions... it's those very predictions
that seem to get some people's panties in a bunch. The only
problem is that you can't get instant results. That's
hardly the climatologists' fault!
