"Since all knowledge of external nature is made by man and is socially constructed, the identification and criticism of any particular body of knowledge as 'pseudoscientific' must count as a defense of some other body of knowledge. . .To label 'pseudoscience' in the interest of creating [an] 'objective world' must be seen as deeply conservative, for it is a constraint on man's creative activity-- a corset on any alternative view of man making, not only his own history, but also his own reality." - Roger Cooter, "The Conservativism of 'Pseudoscience'," 1980.

A little male-centred, toward the end, there, but if you're payying attention to that, first, then you have most certainly missed the point.

I love this job, sometimes.

Now I go home.
