Re: PSEUDO-SCIENCE



It seems that much of the discussion on this thread has been about
justifying the apellation "science" in many instances, but (unless I
missed it) not much has been said about what science IS. At its most
democratic I propose to define science as any systematic observation of
a phenomenon. Perhaps as pscyhology and other "soft" sciences have
attempted to standardize nomenclature and and derive quantitative
representations for their observations they have become sciences (?)
Just a thought.
