Yes, we all know what "pseudoscience" means.
It literally means "false knowledge."
The problem is when the term is over-applied, and used as a reckless pejorative and smear rather than an accurate descriptor.

I think of it more in terms of whether there is a general scientific consensus on a proposition rather than whether conclusive proof of its truth has necessarily been established.
That said, the formation of a general scientific consensus will normally be based on strong empirical evidence.

personal opinion of her child.
In the same way, you can have your own personal opinion as to what a word means to you, but your personal opinion is not binding on anyone else who does not exist in your internal mental universe.
This is basic linguistics.

Your mommy may or may not have been right in her assessment of your qualities, but either way, it's ok. You can decide to believe in that assessment.
Her assessment is not binding on the rest of the world.
You can stomp your feet and throw a tantrum, but we don't have to sign on to mommy's

Yes, in your own personal universe, you have a definition you choose to believe to be the one "correct definition."
That's awesome and amazing.
When your mommy said you were the smartest and most beautiful child in the world, you may have chosen to believe that, too.

In many cases, the word "quackery" is indeed used, like "pseudoscience," as a pejorative to smear therapies outside of the mainstream.
Use of perjoratives is often used as a substitute for factual discussion.

I'm not sure either way on constitutionality, but audits of certain types have been done before.
Maybe the stronger angle of attack would be to point out that what they're doing goes far beyond an "audit."

I'm not saying they're stupid, either.
Most seem to be of roughly average brainpower within their peer groups.
I've also known some very sharp folks who are generally broke.
I don't think brainpower and wealth necessarily go together.

I've never met Elon Musk and I don't know the stories behind his accumulation of wealth, so I don't know whether he's a "genius," just very lucky, or what.
I have, however encountered quite a few very wealthy people, and as a general rule, I haven't found them to be exceptionally sharp.
