📂 6.3 Science, Pseudoscience and the Demarcation Problem
It is surprisingly difficult to distinguish between real science and the impostors that look like science but are in fact doing something different — pseudoscience.

This is known in philosophy as the “demarcation problem.” Read more about it here.
