    I don’t agree. Yes it’s fantasy but the “science” term there comes directly from “science fiction”

    That is to say, “science fiction” means “fiction but taking into account at least some level of scientific understanding”

    While “science fantasy” means “fantasy but with the trappings of science fiction”. It’s a perfectly good name for the genre

    The phrasing is similar and it uses the same word, but a different route to get there.

    Edit: on the other hand hand username checks out. Maybe I just fell for the bait.
