Since I am afraid people are sick of this "hard" sf discussion, I
will content myself by pointing out the fact that Hogan is another good
source for the claim that the "science" in so-called "hard" sf is typic-
ally baloney. In fact, Hogan makes blunders so stupid that he makes
Niven seem like "Physics Review" by comparison.

only for a limited period of time. Why should we think that collectively,
as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?" -- Ronald Reagan

Would you be so kind as to enlighten us poor imbeciles who just read
the books to enjoy them rather than to pick them apart as to which authors
write to your specifications on scientific accuracy?
Thanks in advance
