There must be a critical consensus demonstrated over time and from numerous sources for such claims to be permissible. Your edit does not meet such a criteria, and therefore I have reverted it in order to enforce the standards. If you have better or more numerous sources, you are welcome to add them and then revert the change.

But you are in fact venturing a very concrete hypothesis about not just its standing but its validity, on the basis of a single paper. In no other circumstance would that be an acceptable view to present on Knowledge as if it was neutral, when it clearly is not. A neutral view can of course indicate

Again, if you'd like to find or cite other papers which demonstrate that this refutation has been a sustained and mainstream position for many years, please do so. "This claim has been considered pseudo-scientific" or something of the like would then be justifiable in reference to clear Knowledge

You claiming so does not in fact make it so. I'm not interested in your personal opinions about various scientific theories. If you believe it's pseudoscience, demonstrate this through citations of multiple mainstream, high-reputation scientific journals. If you cannot do so, accept that you are

You have not demonstrated fallacies, misinterpretations or fake data, nor is any one academic paper without any further context, response, or examination able to do so in any context. Spinoza's metaphysics has not been definitively "debunked" just because one bloke published a paper seeking to

What I am saying is that such hypothesis has never been a hypothesis in good standing. Read the Knowledge article thereupon, we do not pamper the fact that it never got traction, and it is not our business to venture projections about what might become mainstream science 100 years later, see
