Now again for the umpteenth time, there is nothing wrong with "mental masturbation" but there is a way science goes about it and the stupid way laypersons go about it.
If you want to dwell in the unimaginative sphere of fantasy you can, but you still have nothing until scientific method and peer review act on it. Make any claim you want, that is a government issue and a human rights issue, go for it. But don't expect anyone, especially not scientists to buy anything you say just because you uttered it.
What wishful thinking? If I decide to indulge in fantasy, it is for escapism - not to present said fantasy as a scientific candidate for reality. Who the hell does that?
If I did try to pass fantasy off as reality - especially in a scientific arena - and somebody buys it, shame on them! If enough people did it and managed to snow enough other people, it would be a problem but I sure don't see that that has happened. How many people do you know think time travel is possible because Seven of Nine caused a temporal displacement with a resonant, inverse tetryon burst from the main deflector dish?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
