Why would we want to?  This looks like good advertisement
to me.  Is the term "pseudoscientific" offensive?  Think
it over, perhaps that is exactly the adjective we want.
Scientists are likely to be the ones turned off by that
description, however these might well agree with the notion
of human intelligence expanding throughout.  Those 
non-scientific or anti-scientific may actually see 
positive connotations in the term.
