Science-fiction need not be "scientific." Yes, there are those who insist that science-fiction must depict future science, etc, and ideally contain rockets, too. That's hard science-fiction, and IMO an obviously over-narrow definition of the genre.
But yeah, it's whatever we want to define it as. And definitions should never get in the way of good books, or (hopefully) selling them.
