Most of the time "pop Skepticism" devolves into a lot of "I'm smarter than you." At its worst it sometimes dabbles in the same logical fallacies that are routinely present in the "woo" it attempts to debunk. I call it "fundamentalist positivism," and like most fundie ideologies has its own brand of holier-than-thou.
