Granted to some extent. Reflecting on speculation in [non-Fiction] Science there is speculation about the unknown and then there is anti-science fiction. However, the most distinguishing separation for both Historical Fiction and Science Fiction is the inclusion of purely fictional characters (including perhaps fictional aliens) engaging in fictional adventures. You know fiction versus non-fiction.
