    tooth fairy science is a term coined by harriet hall which i think accurately describes the action of pretty much every psuedoscientific field out there and why people fall victim.

    it bothers me that people dont know how to scrutinize information, especially medical claims. it bothers me even more when they parrot info without a disclaimer.

    This is also why the ontology of cultural studies is so infuriatning to many a philosophy postgrads.

    I really find tooth fairy science interesting.  Well, not so much the actual "science" as much why people believe that kind of stuff.  Lately I've been saying about bigfoot: Bigfoot is like visa, he's wherever you want to see him.
     
    This is probably why I listen to the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe
