I don't see how this example is relevant for Wikipedia. Should any theory or discipline be put into the category "intended" by its proponents? And should those proponents get to decide what categories it *isn't* put into? So we must put Creationism into the Science category and we can't put it into the Pseudoscience category? I don't think that's really the NPOV. (It sounds more like the Sympathetic Point of View which the (no doubt fine) people on Wikinfo state as their goal.)
