Regarding the edit:
I'd like to think we're to the point in our lives where we understand that unquantified claims like "dogs have fur" and "religions claim to be non-disprovable" are colloquialisms for "(all but an exceptional set of) dogs have fur" and "(all but an exceptional set of) religions claim to be non-disprovable", and that life would become incredibly tedious if people were only permitted to make logically correct claims. I'll settle for claims which merely provide good evidence.
As many, many people have pointed out over the years, the Sequences were never intended to be published as a scientific article.

It's an essay, not a Wikipedia page. The article you're calling for is five times as long and dramatically more boring to read.
