I still don't really like that idea, because it's strongly taking one side in a dispute. Should we, for example, have a [[Category:Pseudoscientists]] that we apply to [[Linus Pauling]] for his wacked-out ideas on nutrition? (Of course, he could also get [[Category:Scientists]] for his more respected work.)
Has this or anything as stupid aS this actually happened? i.e., not hypothetically.
I'm not sure, but I fail to see any meaningful distinction between a possibly hypothetical [[Category:Pseudoscientists]] and the [[Category:Pseudoscience]]. If it's acceptable to label theories considered pseudoscience by the mainstream scientific community with [[Category:Pseudoscience]], why isn't it acceptable to label the people who came up with those theories [[Category:Pseudoscientists]]?
