DESCRIPTION:Drawing the line between science and p
 seudoscience is known to be a hard task that has h
 aunted philosophers and scientists at least since 
 the birth of the Galilean scientific tradition. Dr
 awing inspiration from some works of Wittgenstein,
  and some of his intuitions on nonsense and the im
 portance of practice, I try to outline a questioni
 ng procedure to help us place a couple of exemplar
 y dubious practices on the one or the other side o
 f the `worthiness' line. Most literature focuses o
 n trying to obtain a demarcation between what's sc
 ience ("and *thus* it's worthwhile") and what's no
 t. My approach tries to go straight to what's wort
 hwhile and what is not, by trying to clarify conce
 pts such as `cure' and `effective therapy'. What n
 eeds have a healer for us to put our dear bones in
  their hands?  For more information, see https://w

 the line between science and pseudoscience is know
