Isn't that exactly how science work? It does not make true claims. It produces statements with disclaimers. If this and this then Y is true, as long as we don't observe Y.

You cannot use the scientific method to definitely say: "X is true".

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Every scientist I've ever asked has stood by that. Science dispels untruth.
