See, here's the problem: we're not even talking about the same thing. You're talking about a particular usage of the word science, and I'm talking about the enterprise of science. You're talking about "knowledge", and I'm talking about a "systematic way of gaining and organizing knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions". You know,
empiricism.

I would hope that you use more than two people, because there is very little you can conclude from an experiment with a sample size of two.
What's stopping you or anyone else from testing this, if it is so easy? Oh wait, people have doing things like this for ages and it hasn't really amounted to anything. You can claim these things are testable, but until you can go out and measure it in a repeatable manner, you can't claim that there is any
empirical evidence to support your claims.
