A better example would be washing your hands.Of course it has value. It becomes the starting point for further investigation of discovery.
That which is 'untestable' today may be 'testable' tomorrow. There was no way to test for the Higgs Boson in the 1960's.
More specifically, if handling corpses, wash your hands before delivering babies. This was denied for years because it couldn't be proved by Ignaz Semmelweiss who offered the theory.
Germs as a whole probably fall under this catagory.
