THE ROAD FROM FOOLISHNESS TO FRAUD

Park uses the term voodoo science to cover four categories which evolve from delusion to fraud:
- pathological science, wherein genuine scientists deceive themselves
- junk science, speculative theorizing which bamboozles rather than enlightens
- pseudoscience proper, work falsely claiming to have a scientific basis, which may be dependent on supernatural explanations
- fraudulent science, exploiting bad science for the purposes of fraud
