"Skepticism is generally any questioning attitude towards unempirical
knowledge or opinions/beliefs stated as facts"
from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skepticism
I agree with your main point, root_vegetable. Your use of the term
"skeptics" in a disparaging way, however, is both incorrect and ironic. You,
and several people here with similar views are expressing their skepticism
toward many of these bullshit ideas.
Maybe you mean "charlatans" or "pseudo-scientists". Not "skeptics" as that
disparages yourself. You are skeptical of ideas without a scientific basis.
See the skeptics society and/or read the wikipedia article posted above.
I'm just trying to make sure you point our indignation in the right
direction!
