Exactly, when you're describing science fiction. The
mislabeling of fantasy or horror as "science fiction" is
another matter, much, as you noted previously, as when
suspense or horror fiction is mislabeled "mystery"...when
done casually, it's just sloppy; done with full intent, one
has to wonder why do so (other than commercial pressures, the
usual reason, or ignorance, number two with a bullet).
