Yes, the merge is a bad idea. Quack medicine should be merged with
fraud rather.

That's the best way to put the distinction I've heard.
I strongly disagree with a merge and think that Quackery should be
a subcat of Medicine instead of Alternative medicine. One can dupe
patients with unnecessary traditional-type therapies as much as one
can with alternative ones.
