The use of the scientific method and replication of their findings by other scientists is not a strategy used by proponents of pseudoscience. It is a hallmark of genuine scientific inquiry. The other three strategies listed (shifting the burden of proof, use of irrefutable or nonfalsifiable claims, and combining unfounded claims with established scientific findings) are often employed by pseudoscientists in an attempt to make their claims seem more credible.
