ABSTRACT It has been suggested that, by definition, pseudoscientists must assert that their theories are scientific or represent the best available knowledge. However, in business consultation and self‐help literature, pseudoscientists do not often make such strong claims. Instead, they commonly appeal to the practical utility of their theories.
