As can I. I just assign them to a separate sub-genre of the field. I consider them part of science fantasy, simply because we
know the setting isn't possible, but we pretend it is for the duration of the story. At the time they were written, we
didn't know that, and the whole sub-genre of science fantasy had not been defined. (For suitably vague meanings of "defined":...)
