-- pizza -- "best" can't be measured

-- brown -- "ugly" can't be measured

So neither of these can be studied, and neither of the statements could be the result of a previous scientific study.

-- ghosts -- there has never been a single verifiable observation to support this statement.

So "ants" is the only statement left. It's supported by hundreds of years of observations, and can be observed by anyone who's interested
