Exactly. Every single philosophical statement in history runs up against the issue where you can just say, "yeah, it's pretty much this. You just need to do <arbitrarily hard unspecified thing that is basically unfalsifiability>". (Including this one)

And maybe that's just our limits with philosophy, modeling, assumptions, whatever. The danger is not realizing when we're in that zone.

(Fwiw I think unfalsifiability is a limit with any system - "you didn't compile in my syntax/semantics" is an gotcha that's actually valid and useful, but nobody can really determine the hard line)
