This reminds me of the "pyramids were designed to be tombs" hypothesis:

It can be observed:
Look for physical evidence of previously unbreached pyramids.

It can be measured:
Number of "tombs" found = 0.

And therefore, it can be entered into evidence:
No evidence that pyramids were initially tombs.

It also reminds me of the "megalithic pyramids were built in the 3rd millennium BC" hypothesis:

It can be observed:
Look for any physical artifact or direct, plausible eyewitness accounts from any of tens of thousands of masons, architects, foremen, viziers, royal figures, etc. with provenance in the 3rd millennium BC attesting to the original construction of any megalithic pyramid or who document any industrial-scale tools and methods relevant to such construction during that period.

It can be measured:
Number of artifacts and direct eyewitness accounts attesting to such construction, tools, or methods = 0.

And therefore, it can be entered into evidence:
No evidence that such construction occurred in the 3rd millennium BC.
