That’s perfectly fair comment. To elaborate further, there are those who arbitrarily define ufology to fit the definition of pseudoscience without providing substantial reasoning. Then there are those like me who provide substantial reasoning based on logic and example as to why ufology doesn’t fit the definition of pseudoscience. We can then choose to go with the former or the latter.
Personally I choose the latter, not simply because it’s my viewpoint, but because it also appears to be true, and that is nearly always my bottom line when it comes to why I believe one viewpoint carries more weight than another. In other words I don’t believe all opinions carry equal weight by simple virtue of them being an opinion. They need to be substantiated by critical thinking.
That being said, you make a very good point about differentiating objective study from blind faith or belief. Perhaps that’s one of the markers between fair-minded interest and fanaticism? I would contend that ufology would fit well into the humanities because there we have other subjects like religious studies or mythology that don’t require adherence to any particular belief system covered in the curriculum.
