In modern examples, most often pseudoscience intends to create the appearance of a reasonable factual disagreement were no such disagreement actually exists in the scientific community. For example, Global Warming, a dogmatic liberal principle, must not be questioned in scientific circles. This leads to the label of pseudoscience when some of its core values are not allowed to be called into question.
