My pet peeve incorrect science in science fiction.
If your explanation makes no sense scientifically, don't bother explaining the technology. I much prefer a black box approach to lots of details that can not possibly work.
The last memorable one I read was Matheson's The Shrinking Man. I would have been much happier with the book if it had never explained why the guy was shrinking, as opposed to blaming it on mutated chemicals causing the body to loose nitrogen.
