Do you mean this one ? ..

Updated list of Pseudoscience distinctions (ie: ways of detecting pseudoscience):

(1) The non observation of a prediction made by science is proof that the science is wrong.
(2) An anomaly proves the science is wrong.
(3) Recitation of conspiracy theories against science. (Eg: the peer review process being a "boys club");
(4) No evidence of ever having gone through 'Peer Review' and announcements made in mainstream media, before journal publication.
(5) Fudged tests or data: No signs of data, which may be used to disprove the theory.

I think this was the last revision ..

Hmm

Cheers
