So not at all based in science? Interesting as a historical curiosity but nothing more?

Interesting because of the psychological insights into not how all people are, but how people make up theories in general. Same way religion has scientific significance in an anthropological sense.

Perhaps "historical curiosity" was a little obtuse of me.
