I concur, pretty well nailed LP.
From memory Stephen Hawkings definition of a scientific theory was ...”observations that lead to future predictions that are measurable and repeatable...”
Pseudoscience latches onto scientific papers that support its point of view (cherry picking data).
Whereas science uses peer review, and if it can’t be replicated it (a theory) gets discarded fairly quickly.
As noted above, science doesn’t care what you believe.
Let’s go BIG !
