Where do you put that test, though? The theory itself is not empirical, nor is the proof, nor is anything used in the theorem.
Even if the idea came through empirical means, the theory itself isn't empirical.

That's why it's math and not science.
My original point was that calling a philosophical problem unscientific is like saying this ice cream is nonelectronic. It wasn't meant to be, it doesn't mean it's not good. Or in the case of mathematical theorems or philosophical problems, insightful.
