Again, pulp isn't sci-fi. Science fiction without the science is simply, as I said, bullshit no different from Lord of the Rings. Also: since when are lasers and rocketships fiction?
I don't know how many proofs I need. Take a look at any decent list of greatest science fiction authors. They're either scientists or involved with scientific development. If you don't understand science, you cannot be a science fiction author.
