No matter how good an author is, if they attempt to write science fiction and do not know how to write science fiction they will write shit.
What our disagreement is over is what science fiction is. You believe that science fiction authors are people that have like to make shit up about the future. I feel that science fiction is a lot more than saying "the year was 2044." You're simply a less intelligent being than I, so you have a lower standard for what you read. This Le Guin you worship so much writes fantasy books which have space ships in them. Nothing more than that. She does not write science fiction, because she is a woman who grew up in an age where women played with dirt under trees and washed dishes.
She doesn't know anything about science: she cannot write about science, fictionally or otherwise.
