To c...Well, its either physics or stamp collecting. To call something NLP or memetics a pseudoscience is often a hybrid of ignorance and arrogance. They may better be seen as proto-science, or engineering topics. NLP is more akin to the .NET framework; notice the term "programming" is a doing word, based on science but directly aimed at deep undersanding or extensive study. Similarly, field medics save lives, not write papers; does that make it pseudoscience? However there are a large academic literature particularly as psycholinguists. <br /><br />For the title: there is a legend that Bandler (being a programmer) stole the letters from Natural Language Processing - the connexion is plausable.<br /><br />Another problem for NLP is that practitioners are still being taught metaphors for '70 programming paradigms; that all needs updating. Personally, I would consider it as : human mind markup language, and "therapy" as installing updates.<br /><br />salimanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512109696789865793noreply@blogger.com
