A quote from the abstract: "We find that students’ science literacy, as defined by the National Science Foundation in its surveys of the general public, does not strongly correlate with an understanding that astrology is pseudoscientific, and therefore belief in astrology is likely not a valid indicator of scientific illiteracy."<p>In case that explanation was too subtle, it means that the public's understanding of astrology's pseudoscientific status is so limited that not knowing that status isn't a fair measure of scientific literacy.<p>Well, okay, but deplorable nevertheless.
