Oh yes I forgot they mentioned that 10% thing, and yes it does make me cringe a bit too. I remember thinking when I was 12 that it sounded quite cool, though. Anyways, a huge chunk of Sci-Fi stories (good ones too) have these little kernels of BS that you just have to get past.

I'm older I guess because I saw that in my 20s and couldn't take it seriously. Agree a lot of sci-fi might have something like that though and I would have been more forgiving of stuff when I was younger, and was for stuff I did like when I was younger also.
