Fandom seems almost like an epiphenomenon of shaky foundations but not in itself an indictment of the foundations. You look for more social reassurance when your truths have a half life of 5 years rather than 50. But that’s degree, not kind.

This sounds like an interesting thread of questions, but I’m not sure I understand what it is. Is the point that there’s a continuum from reliable science to pseudoscience? Yes definitely. “Quasi” refers vaguely to the middle ground there.

I'd say programming lore would span that whole spectrum, though maybe what I think of as programming lore overlaps with startupology. But imo most lore having to do with e.g., application architecture or agile development methodology is already well along the spectrum
