Why call it pseudoscience? It's just science done poorly by someone doing science. We don't call a bad haircut a pseudo-haircut.


Same as psuedostatistics. There are fundamental, objective principals. [1]

Violate those, and it's not what it claims to be.

A bad haircut doesn't claim to be something that it's not, and its goodness is subjective.

Dude, the reference you provide does not support your claim that "There are fundamental, objective principals." Not sure if you are trying to be subversive or just lazy (or both).


Neither. Reference should have followed the word pseudostatistics
