:::You might be misunderstanding the intent, then. (Or I have expressed it badly). Those theories would have their prominence evaluated against the general scientific understanding ''too'', which would prevent our articles from expressing them otherwise than as minority views. — [[User:Coren|Coren]] <sup>[[User Talk:Coren|(talk)]]</sup> 01:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
You guys must know something I don't- haven't seen any time when a fringe subject tried to make itself seem mainstream, or refused to have its level of acceptance defined relative to mainstream. But whatever. Coren, saying "evaluate" instead of "describe" disturbs me in general, it sounds like SYNTH and OR.
"If SA and friends insist on labelling foo as fringe science, orthodox scientists like me may be forced to come to its defence if we do not regard all of its advocates as quacks, even if we don't actually believe it." How sad :D ——'''[[User:Martinphi|<span style="color:#6c4408;border:1px dashed #6c4408;padding:1px;background:#ffffff;">Martin<sup>phi</sup>]]'''</span> [[User talk:Martinphi|Ψ]]~[[Special:Contributions/Martinphi|Φ]]<span style="color:#ffffff;">——</span> 01:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
