If it describes what pseudoscience describes, and it ever reaches common
English usage rather than being a Wikipedia neologism, I predict those
so labeled will object to it in just the same way.

(Trivia: the word "Scientology" was first used in 1910 or so to mean
what we now call "pseudoscience".)
