That was not my point. My point was that the theory is constructed, or formulated, in a way that it never can be proven wrong or fail. Since even an obvious failure of the theory will in fact confirm its 'validity' ...
The theory 'worked' > that's because you believed it would work > the theory is valid
The theory 'failed' > that's because you believed it would fail > the theory is valid
But there's still no proof that the results had anything to do 'with the Universe arranging things for you according to your expectation'.
