You're just too damn uptight. Besides being annoying, it's not even productive. Your attitude is the kind that squashes speculation - which is where ideas come from. Sure, scientists challenge each other and it's appropriate in that arena. Ideas presented for scientific consideration must be rigorously challenged. That's how the process works. Speculation thrown out casually at sci-fi conventions is hardly in the same realm. When Star Trek fans start lobbying congress to fund transporter technology research, citing photon teleportation, criticize away. Otherwise, leave them to hell alone.
NO I am not, now here is a video of a SCIENTIST criticizing the word choices of a QM physicist, not because he was wrong, but because the general public JUMPED THE GUN. No one has to take my word for it. You just said scientists should challenge each other. OK watch the video.
EVEN in QM they have to use METAPHOR because the general public has a hard time understanding the actual math and physics involved at that tiny level.
There are still probability issues and rules even at that level.
Same with the word "teleport" now don't take my word for it READ this SCIENTIST saying the same thing as me DON'T GAP FILL. Scroll down until you see the Star Trek photo and READ the caption.
