- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI did, quite instinctively, yes. My father apprenticed me in the natural sciences, so by 16, I definitely knew a quack when I saw him, and I could tell what is junk science just fine.

Unfortunately, people who support the establishment Who are you talking about? propping up both quacks Are dentists quacks? Is getting wisdom teeth removed the "pseudoscientific woo."
