The author does not appear to be using the expression “pre-science” to refer to a underdeveloped science. He seems to be using the expression “pre-science” to refer to magical thinking. Would you mind looking over the source? I would appreciate a second opinion on the matter.

Hey QuackGuru, Mallexikon has inserted the claim that traditional Chinese medicine is a “pre-science” into the article, and he has piped “pre-science” to Protoscience. I read over the source he has provided, and I don’t think it supports his claim at all. For example, the author writes:
“I would argue that this is actually a reason to be suspicious of TCM, for it derives from a pre-scientific largely superstition-based culture, similar in this way to the pre-scientific Western culture that produced the humoral (Galenic) theory of biology.”
“Pre-scientific doctors thought, for example, that pus was a good thing, a sign that a wound was healing.”
“TCM is a pre-scientific superstitious view of biology and illness, similar to the humoral theory of Galen, or the notions of any pre-scientific culture. It is strange and unscientific to treat TCM as anything else.”
The author does not appear to be using the expression “pre-science” to refer to a underdeveloped science. He seems to be using the expression “pre-science” to refer to magical thinking. Would you mind looking over the source? I would appreciate a second opinion on the matter. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 10:59, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
