Dear Donal, I do not think there is any difference, people who on the basis of horseshit (whether they call it sceince or not is immaterial to me) scam poor innocents are to be blamed. that they want to see astrology as sitting on a higher plane, is to my mind only a witness of the idiocy of these courts

I readily take the point, palma, that there is a fundamental difference between selling quack pills masquerading as effective medicines and seeking payment for some astrological prediction, and that the newspaper report does not go into detail on the relevant law and its purpose, and it may well be that the court's decision is not based on any strict analysis of what is "science" but on whether astrology should be excluded from the harms that the law is there seeking to prevent, and therefore the finding it is a "science" for the purpose of the law under consideration may be deemed correct as a matter of purposive construction and on grounds of public policy. The point that Popper was not consulted because he is dead is also well-made, though I maintain they could still have consulted his works which are available in all good bookshops.
