My teacher didn't say the punch line, but he was part of the quote. I asked what scientism was (I think that's what I asked) and he said, "... doing experiments for the sake of doing experiments."
And my classmate said, "Some people call that a Master's program."

Hee.

That was my point. I was mocking your statement. You can't say anything is true, and effectively you are reduced to being incapable of predicating anything without modifying said predication. It is absolutely useless to do anything or to try to communicate with other human beings on anything of more import than "pass the butter".
