A Complete Collection of Inappropriately Named Scientific Professions

1.) Metaphysician: Metaphysicist, or private practice doctor who only treats other doctors?

2.) Paleontology: The ontology of old things. But somehow they restricted themselves to animals and flint napping. I hardly think that is a complete ontology for x years ago (with 3000 < x < 2000000000). Where's the account of true being?

3.) Ecologist/Economist: Evidently, economists are concerned with the laws (nomos) of our environs. Ecologists are concerned with the rhetoric or rational debate (logos) of our environs. Ya. Sure. Whatever.

4.) Cosmology/Cosmetology: Ha!

That is all.
