Bill, I just consider it nitpicking. Saying something has a scientific source (hyperdrive) doesn't necessarily mean it does, and to me, that makes it just as mystical. Conversely, saying something has a mystical origin could only mean the person is not aware of the scientific principal behind it (or is purposely obfuscating the issue).
The point is, we're talking about sci-fi, and the one thing about sci-fi is that it doesn't have to be scientifically accurate to be sci-fi... in fact, the barn door swings wide.
Anyway, that's just me.
