Tongue in cheek, although it works better than you’d expect at first blush.

Add the word “mad” to the beginning. If it sounds scary it’s a real science, if it sounds silly and makes you laugh it’s not.

“Mad chemist” sounds scary, what if they make sarin gas or something?

“Mad economist” sounds like someone left in a huff at a federal reserve board meeting.

I'll make sure my physiotherapist knows I don't find the threat of his impending madness at all threatening.

A range of comments decrying economics as fake science, and then this description of how to determine what is a real science.

You couldn't parody this if you tried.
