How is it pseudo-scientific?
Or alternatively, how would any conceivable definition not be equally "psuedo-scientific"? There isn't going to be a bright, shining line. Our own Solar System is complicated enough and if we could see out into the cosmos with equal detail the lines would get even fuzzier. Judgment calls are inevitable.
