I didn't say they weren't physicists. I said that theoretical physics is not science in the way we use the term. It is indeed math science, in that you can test the math. As I stated, they do no actual physical experimentation.
Real scientists take the math and do the real science to see if the mathematical predictions hold up in the real world.
