He is arguing against building the larger particle collider.
There are too little theory support of such collider can find anything new under the standard model.
IMO, it is not the matter of "science". This is economics.

Bad deontology on the part of an individual doesn't discredit the field as a whole.
Now, is it testable? Only in a very limited sense. You can suss out trends in a decently empirical way, but because you're working with independent agents you can't really get sufficient data to obtain rigorous results.
Economics is not unlike high energy physics in these respects. You can move the needle in legitimate ways, but there are very hard restrictions that make it more difficult to make rigorous observations.
