But the argument is that the dialogoue is dying and that dialogoue is waht makes SF different than other genres such as crime and westerns. The original argument was written from an SF fans perspective. A fan that go to convention and follows the SF genre and the debate in the genre.
I get the impression that a lot of people commenting here misunderstand what SF is nad they just look at it as just another crime book.
And being aware of the SF genre's history is actually still a requirement for understanding the genre.
