About this whole question of when a theory is scientific

*It is just a dimensionless number and there's nothing to measure.*

Like the fine structure constant? Or rather, the CKM angle in QCD?

The fine structure constant can't be described as simply some dimensionless number. It characterizes the strength of the electromagnetic interaction and isn't measured but calculated in terms of the fundamental physical constants of QED. CKM doesn't help you either.
