Correct. But the way to construct a worldview that denies this is to define physicalism as follows:
Physicalism includes everything that is mundane and obvious in science, but nothing new and bizarre. As soon as something new and bizarre comes up, we must deny that physicalism could possibly include it (until later when it becomes old-hat and mundane). This allows us to assert that the new and bizarre thing demonstrates that physicalism must be false. This is called Strawman Limited Physicalism.
