    ... I have to say that the vast majority of sci-fi authors
    *do not* know what they are talking about. ... Heinlein & Niven have
    plenty of BS, and most sci-fi authors much more. ... I refuse to fool
    myself into thinking that it is much good either as science or as
    literature.

  Your ignorance is obvious from your calling SF by that despicable
term.  No other comment is necessary.
