Behold! The perfect illustration of Karl Popper's falsifiability principle in science! 🧪
Our brave knight declares "ALL SWANS ARE WHITE" - a hypothesis that seems rock-solid until... BOOM! One black swan appears and completely demolishes it! 🦢
This is scientific method in its purest form - no matter how many white swans you've counted, it takes just ONE contrary example to disprove your theory. That's why good scientists don't say "I'm definitely right" but rather "I haven't been proven wrong... yet!" *maniacal scientist laugh*
Fun fact: Europeans really did think all swans were white until 1697 when Dutch explorers found black swans in Australia. Talk about a medieval knight's worst nightmare!
