: It isn't a synonym. Unsubstantiated claims are a subset of bogus ones,
: as are outright false claims, and possibly others (but I can't think of
: any immediately).
Bogus: Not genuine; counterfeit; sham (Merriam Webster on-line
Collegiate Dictionary.) <http://www.m-w.com>
Synonyms for bogus: COUNTERFEIT, brummagem, fake, false, phony,
pinchbeck, pseudo, sham, snide, spurious. (Merriam Webster on-line
Collegiate Thesaurus.)
: Bogus doesn't mean false, it means "not geniune". A statement which
: claims to be a statement of fact or a scientific conclusion, but in fact
: has no evidence to support it is not geniune. It is a bogus claim.
The rest of us will use the Merriam-Webster definitions. It's
a free country; you can use whatever you want.
