It's considered a "cult thing" if it isn't generally usable by the masses. That, in and of itself, doesn't make it good or bad, and the word "cult" is misapplied here, but it conveys the general idea of the views of those who don't understand the whole Sartin-physics principles. Davidowitz is closer to the truth with the term "Pseudoscience", but that's not entirely correct, either, although many things that are now generally accepted by the scientific community were once termed pseudoscience. Just because something isn't accepted by the mainstream doesn't mean that it's incorrect or ineffctive.
I realize that this is an old thread. I'm posting here because I ran across it in my search to refresh my memory for a thread about Davidowitz's latest book over on PA.
While pace-handicapping in general isn't my cup of tea, I don't agree or disagree with the principles of RDSS and the whole Sartin/PIRCO-inspired way of thinking. Like every other form of handicapping, this has its advocates and detractors. Like anything else, it's good if it works for you.
