Well yes, and that is obvious today, at the time they were reputable fields, just look it up.
And if you read that in history, what does that tell you about the present and the possibility of it being the case with some fields today?
My point is obviously not to defend those fields, but to say that pseudoscience maskerading as science isn't a thing that can only happen in the past.
It's a bit strange to learn about the fact that it happened before yet not accept the possibility that some of the things we call science today, aren't.
