I don't have a problem with the main substance of that argument, which I agree with. Your implication that we would reject this idea is mistaken.

Hmm? I'm not sure who you mean by we? If you mean that someone supporting a Popperian approach to epistemology would probably find this idea reasonable than I agree with you (at least empirically, people claiming to support some form of Popperian approach seem ok with this sort of thing. That's not to say I understand how they think it is implied/ok in a Popperian framework).
