Editing Pseudoscience (section)

===Alternative definition===
For philosophers [[Silvio Funtowicz]] and [[Jerome R. Ravetz]] "pseudo-science may be defined as one where the uncertainty of its inputs must be suppressed, lest they render its outputs totally indeterminate". The definition, in the book ''[[Uncertainty and Quality in Science for Policy]]'',<ref name="PNS0">{{cite book|vauthors=Funtowicz S, Ravetz J|year=1990|title=Uncertainty and Quality in Science for Policy|location=Dordrecht|publisher=Kluwer Academic Publishers|title-link=Uncertainty and Quality in Science for Policy|page=54}}</ref> alludes to the loss of craft skills in handling quantitative information, and to the bad practice of achieving precision in prediction (inference) only at the expenses of ignoring uncertainty in the input which was used to formulate the prediction. This use of the term is common among practitioners of [[post-normal science]]. Understood in this way, pseudoscience can be fought using good practices to assess uncertainty in quantitative information, such as [[NUSAP]] and&nbsp;– in the case of mathematical modelling&nbsp;– [[sensitivity auditing]].
