As a modification of falsificationism, Imre Lakatos’ more relaxed definition of the criteria of demarcation between science and pseudoscience still supports the view that a sufficient number of refutations may constitute rejection of a theory, but argues for a more lenient treatment of fledgling scientific theories Popper rejects verificationism as a criterion of demarcation because, as he puts it, confirmations are plentiful when one is looking for
