Popper's supporters argued that most criticism is based on an
incomprehensible interpretation of his ideas. They argue that Popper should not
be interpreted as meaning that falsifiability is a sufficient condition for the
demarcation of science. Some passages seem to suggest that he considers it is
only a necessary condition. Other passages would suggest that for a theory to be
scientific, Popper requires (besides falsifiability) other tests, and that
negative test results are accepted. A demarcation criterion based on
falsifiability that includes these elements will avoid the most obvious
counter-arguments of a criterion based on falsifiability alone.
