As an ex-prefacer, imo it’s a hedge against the nudging recognition that the thought being hedged is based on a pyramid of iffy connections (usually more word-of-mouth type “science”), rather than an articulable, concrete a->b->c.

Do you mean to say that pseudoscience topics are perceived negatively?
