Match the FLOATER element with the pseudoscience characteristic that violates it.

  • Evidence
  • Sticks to the same belief, even when the evidence suggests it’s wrong.

  • Claims and arguments often include errors in reasoning.

  • Starts with a conclusion and cherry-picks only the evidence that confirms the original idea.

  • Makes vague, unclear claims that can’t be tested.

  • Fails to be clear about its methods so others can repeat experiments.

  • Fails to stop and ask “What else could be causing what I’ve observed?”

  • Relies on anecdotes, personal experiences and testimonials rather than reliable support.
