Right off the bat there is a problem. The term "woo" is not an appropriate description for science fiction or fiction of any kind for that matter unless it is being presented as reality.
There's nothing wrong with critiquing it AS FICTION of course but it's quite ridiculous to critique it as if it were a scientific paper when it is not.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
