Your Definition
A hybrid of goalpost‑moving and proofposting that weaponizes the demand for “scientific proof.” The perpetrator sets an impossibly high bar—often requiring standards that are [inappropriate] for the field or [impossible] to meet—and then declares that the target’s failure to produce such “proof” demonstrates that they are unscientific, fraudulent, or [delusional]. Scienceposting is especially common in debates about qualitative research, indigenous knowledge, and emergent fields, where the demand for RCTs or replication is used to dismiss whole domains of inquiry.
