No, the same can't be said for the statement "There are no mermaids in the ocean". This statement is a valid statement. The scientific hypotheses are not based on the ability to prove it correct or wrong. Any statement can be considered as scientific hypotheses. Many attempts had been made to discover the presence of mermaid. Since all the attempts have failed till date, therefore the hypotheses could not be falsified.
