A Si Fi watchmaker.

[Brian37]

I will concede that I am full of shit right now when you find me a credible scientist that says "you don't have to test it, just claim it".

Look, chucklefuck, I agree that you have to test claims in the real fucking world. Science fiction doesn't deal in REALITY and doesn't fucking claim to! How can you keep missing that point, over and over, like a willfully ignorant faither?

Sure, some fucktard can come along and start a Jedi Order religion (real, no shit). They can also come along and start claiming they are actually werewolves or vampires (also real, no shit). Some people are just fucking stupid.

Again, I'm going to ask, what would you have us do about it?

Science fiction [b]doesn't deal in REALITY

Now was that so hard to admit? If it does not deal in reality as PER YOUR OWN WORDS, then it should be treated as FICTION.

Again, people can come up with ideas, but to say mistakes or falsehoods or assumptions cannot be made in fiction is absurd. ANY TYPE OF FICTION. Si fi is not the only source of inspiration humans get their ideas from.
