Grounded in actual understanding and justified knowledge than simply confirmation bias and the need to feel like one is in control of one's environment.

Conclusions arrived at by eliminating excess variables, as a way to see if an effect is the effect of a cause, and just simply a fluke or correlation which someone wants to believe is causation.

If something has a scientific basis, it means that it can be replicated by anyone else, since it's an objective fact and not dependant on a person's beliefs.

As in the product of a process that tries to minimise human error (which even the smartest among us commit) whereas superstition in most cases is the result of human error, and almost always unchecked.
