What is the difference between zero order reaction and pseudo-zero order reaction?

A zeroth order rxn in kinetics is one whose rate is not affected by the concentration of any of the reactants.
A pseudo-zeroth order is one whose rxn rate is not apparently affected by the concentration of any of the reactants. It may be the concentration of a reactant is so high (for example a solvent may be a reactant and thus have an extraordinarily high concentration) that changes in the concentration (typically factors of 2-10) it have no perceptable affect on the rxn rate.

How can you have a fake reaction? Who thought it up some fake people?
