Right, "based on zat tech" and so not real zats. So they understood zats enough to come up with a facsimile, but not devise real combat zats better than those ridiculously awkward things the Goa'uld built?
Look, if you're not interested in critiquing the internal logic of this show and just want to make stupid comments like the show being make believe, then I'm not sure why you're replying because that's the whole point of this thread. We agree that SG-1 did tech progression better than most shows, but it still left some glaring holes regardless.

They didn’t reverse engineer the Zats, they scavenged those Zat-based weapons and built more.
Look, I went into detail about this at the start of this conversation. I don’t really see the point in repeating the same thing over and over.

I felt we’d exhausted any constructive critique and just moved onto browbeating me into agreeing with you that the show isn’t super realistic.
The point the other commenter was making is that this show was a little easier to suspend disbelief with regards to their use of tech than your average SciFi. While I don’t disagree with the overall point you’re making, you’ve really missed the spirit of the conversation (and the show) with your nitpicking.
I mean if you want to get scentific then where to we start? The impossible glowing eyes, snakes the size of squirrels living inside peoples brains, the entire concept of ascension, time travel, or what about their frequent use of fictional elements? It’s literally make believe.

Nobody is arguing it did. As I’ve said numerous times, this wasn’t intended to be hard SciFi. That’s a whole other genre
