Question About the Scientific Method

[Angrboda]

It's worth noting as well that we don't actually know what things make one endeavor science and another pseudoscience. Philosophers have been working on identifying which factors define each, but so far have been unsuccessful. It tends to be a "know it when we see it" kind of thing. However, for every description of what makes something one rather than the other, there is an example which defies those neat descriptions and shows them to be inaccurate. So I'd worry less about whether it is or isn't science, because there's no good dividing line. On a "know it when you see it" basis, it appears to be science, as it's generating the hallmarks by which we identify science, but there's no hard and fast line between science and pseudoscience.
