Having a wiki page is not usually a good proxy for academic consensus, especially for a controversial topic and especially when "Criticism" is a big chunk of the article.
My "proof" is the fact that every academic I know in history, sociology, and political science laughs whenever the topic is brought up. This is across institutions.
Seams pretty much accepted too me.
>Horseshoe theory is not something taken seriously among academics.
Show me proof for that.
