How people's memories and recall change history... when the term "speculative fiction" started to be used back in the days of "New Worlds," it was regarded as a sub-set of SF (and that is Science Fiction) because SF was a wide-ranging genre not tied hard and fast to domination by hard science... Over the intervening years, everyone seems to be getting pickier...pity really as I keep a wider ranging reading area than one chopped down by OCD nerds aimed at restricting things ever more tightly into ever decreasing genre segments...
