I agree, but I don't see that as an objection to the policy in this forum. This forum is for alternative
science and the standards for inclusion
should be high.
On the other hand, just because a thread does not come up to those standards, does not mean it should be labelled as a "strange claim". So really, it is the name of the "Strange Claims" forum that is the problem, and possibly where it sits on the site.
I have suggested this to the moderators, but perhaps an open discussion would help...
