Why is "alternative science" science, according to Yahoo?

Are any other professional scientists offended by Yahoo's listing of "Alternative" as a science among the likes of biology, chemistry, geology, or physics?

The fact that they have made "Alternative" a subcategory of science only hinders the pursuit of knowledge through science.

    I just wanted to say thanks a lot for the astronomy advice. I couldn't really tell you that through any other medium so I am posting it here.

    Y!A seems to have thought your answer was spam and it's not showing anywhere except my notifications feed, so I sadly can't pick it as best answer. Still, thanks a lot for the advice, it was definitely the best and will really help me plan my future.

    because the word science is heavily guarded by close minded megalomaniacs that treat the logistic pursuit of truth with strict make believe laws and extreme superciliousness.
