Summary

This quote suggests that the term "ufology" is used to represent the study of unidentified flying objects, which are by nature unknown and unidentified. Therefore, the quote argues that "ufology" itself becomes a science that lacks content since it focuses on objects that cannot be thoroughly studied or understood. The same notion applies to "parapsychology," which encompasses the study of paranormal phenomena that are similarly elusive and difficult to define or fully comprehend. Ultimately, the quote implies that both disciplines deal with subjects that inherently limit scientific inquiry or knowledge.
