You can tell if a subject is more philosophy or more science by how much of it relies on gatekeeping schizos. On one end of that spectrum, if you build a better mousetrap or find a much quicker solution for some combinatorial problem, you'll get published no matter who you know because those things are real or easily verifiable. On the other end, anyone with a pencil and a thesaurus can perfectly describe whatever old or new dichotomies and archetypes they want, with none of it being any more or less dispositive than the rest of it, so the point is literally just to pass along the torch of academic genetics from one generation to the next and there's no value or interest whatsoever in publishing something written by a random schizo, unless you're sexually attracted to them (which isn't all that uncommon, see Genet and countless others). In the middle of the spectrum, you have stuff like maybe RH or QM.
