protoscience and fringe science the current heading is pseudoscience fringe science and junk science to me that looks like fringe is in bad company to me fringe has a touch of scientific method which the other two are lacking another one is protoscience which i couldn't find at all in the article so i just added it to see also for the time being odd if this issue has not yet been on the agenda proto and fringe science being closer to mainstream and worthy of a separate treatment
