I think a more pertinent question might be, "Who is a pseudo-scientist?"

Are they people who claim to have advanced degrees from prestigious institutions but don't actually have them?

Are they people who, although they may be trained in a scientific discipline, have for whatever reason adopted non-scientific attitudes, methodologies, and beliefs?

Are they folks who never publish in legitimate scientific journals?
