The notion of a "puppetmaster" is not provable using scientific method. Especially, perhaps, a specific "puppetmaster". Neither is it in the realm of the "duplicatable", though scientific experimentation, to empircally demonstrate that interdependent complexity can occur by random chance.

By faith, one faction accepts that, because they cannot prove it, they believe in a puppetmaster. By faith, the other faction accepts that, though they cannot prove it, they will continue to interpret data according to their best guess.

The ultimate stalemate.
