Résumé
Les partisans de la synergologie la considèrent comme une discipline scientifique. Mais l’unique publication révisée par les pairs (Turchet, 2013) comporte des lacunes (utilisation inadaptée de la littérature scientifique pour justifier les arguments, biais méthodologiques). Par ailleurs, des astuces rhétoriques sont utilisées afin de présenter certains résultats comme validant les hypothèses. Ainsi, la synergologie n’a que l’apparence d’une discipline scientifique et l’absence de théories et validations fiables la classe inévitablement comme une pseudo-science. Cette analyse est discutée en termes d’utilisation de pseudo-sciences dans le système judiciaire et de leur impact lors de procès. Des recommandations sont formulées pour que les professionnels puissent les identifier.

Abstract
Synergology’s supporters consider it as a scientific discipline. But the unique peer-reviewed publication (Turchet, 2013) contains gaps (including the improper use of scientific literature to justify arguments, or methodological biases). Moreover, rhetorical fallacies are used to present results that appear to confirm the hypotheses. That is why synergology only has the appearance of a scientific discipline, and the absence of reliable validations combined with an imperfect theoretical model inevitably classifies it as a pseudoscience. This analysis is discussed in terms of use of pseudosciences in the judicial system and their impact during trials. Recommendations are made so that professionals can identify them.
