“In some respects” is such a weakening qualifying statement, that it could be made about anything.

In some respects, this comment is like Pulitzer-winning writing. (Pulitzer writing is in English, too)

In some respects, I am as good as George Clooney. (I am as good if not a better software engineer in my niche)

In some respects, $1 is worth far more than $10. (Earning the first $1 is in business is a bigger milestone than earning $10)

“To the best of my ability” is another funny one. To the best of my ability, I am the rubberhose variant of Mickey mouse. To the best of its ability, this comment is Diet Coke.

Such completely meaningless statements, but strictly speaking, unfalsifiable.

Strictly speaking, nothing is falsifiable once you actually define things.
