There is no test to determine which test is true and which is false.
What does that even mean?
Do you know how to test if a shoe fits?
1. To apply a test is to apply a specific quality and quantity of variables, a series of variables are determined.
There are no variables in shoe-fitting. Either it does or it doesn't.

2. Their is no test to apply to what variables are tested and which are not, parameters are subjectively chosen.
Sure. You could try fit the shoe on your foot; or you could try fit the shoe on your head.

3. There are multiple tests to apply to a single phenomenon, which one is most accurate is not determined through a test outside the test.
Indeed, you could also test if the shoe is easy to chew.

How the shoe is measured to fit has variables. One could measure using the size number on the shoe. One can place the shoe on the bottom of the foot. One could put the foot in the shoe. One could just guess based upon the percieved size of the shoe.
There are multiple ways in which the shoe can be tested.
Dually the fitting of the shoe has multiple conditions: tight fit, loose fit, just right fit. The shoe is not limited to an either/or method of fitting.

See above.
