First, with out defining it crisply, you do (sort of) know what I mean and
agree that it's a good idea to avoid it, right?
Can I take the "I know it when I see it" cop out? :-) Kidding aside, I would
tend to define it along the lines of the previous thread when we were
talking about the scientific method and what a good hypothesis was (or wasn't).
Although we never did satisfy the conundrum posed about falsifyable
theories, I do tend to give that set of criteria a lot of credence.

| (...) Question: What's "junk science"? Probably important to define it/back it up before requesting that it's not used by Steve.... Is there another thread one might use for reference of such a definition? DaveE (23 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
