Could, please, anyone justify that "predictions" silliness? When Stephen King writes, for example, Carrie, no one in sane mind goes around waving hands, that, lookie, lookie, King predicted that in five years time there will come chick with unnatural abilities, who will totally blow up some small American town. So, King is allowed to write fiction and it's not being magically transformed and declared as predictions. Now, with scifi works there's widespread pathology going - lookie, lookie, he predicted this and predicted that. Why? Any crap written in scifi genre automatically becomes sure fire prediction in crooked minds of some readers? There's no fiction allowed in scifi, no, no, all should be strictly predictions only?
Heck, if you so want play that "predictions" game, then be honest, and mark them up, which ones are wrong, which - physically impossible, and so forth. But that will spoil all the satisfaction from your "oooh, prediction" game, right? 85.254.73.112 (talk) 21:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
