I can't get past the second paragraph, where he introduces "Chiang's Law." I click through for the definition:

> This law can be stated compactly as: science fiction is about strange rules, while fantasy is about special people.

Anyone who believes that has not read much of either. And the writer admits this immediately:

> Whether the story is about spaceships or dragons is irrelevant.

I have a hard time listening to someone who use established terminology to refer to some completely orthogonal concept, in a context guaranteed to cause confusion, for no reason except to snipe at a genre they don't like, for reasons they know are neither fundamental to nor unique to that genre.
