I have no problem with scientific illiterates writing sci-fi. I just object to (a) scientific illiterates thinking that being a sci-fi author (or blogger...) allows them to pontificate about science and screwing up and (b) the elision of science into magic. (Although you do reach the point where "Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.")
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
Hear, Hear!
