However, pseudosciences will explain away or ignore negative results that fail to confirm their theory. This is a convenient way to keep your theory from being verified scientifically because it lacks falsifiability. Pseudosciences tend to explain their results based on wild and unsubstantiated theories, while systematically ignoring scientific explanations. For example, Callahan holds that his results are obtained because tapping corrects energy disturbances. However, he ignores common scientific explanations, like imaginal exposure or placebo , for his treatment's effectiveness while totally adopting unproven hypotheses.
Pseudosciences often present biased and methodologically flawed evaluations as evidence.
Proponents of TFT seek quick confirmation of their theories through unrepresentative case studies. Instead of methodologically sound research, TFT presents anecdotes and testimonials as evidence. Vivid anecdotes make for dramatic presentations but poor proof. Pseudosciences are often engaged in shameless self-promotion and profit seeking. Skepticism is almost totally lacking, perhaps because of an inherent monetary conflict of interest.
