Dogmatic skepticism is the worst pseudoscience: skeptics who assign a zero prior probability to anomalous phenomena have made their position unfalsifiable, so 'extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence' is a trick because the bar is set at infinity and the claim is 'extraordinary' only relative to their worldview.
