Based on evidence presented by The Creation of Tomorrow if science fiction has too much science in it then it is more closely related to that of a text book and lacks the gripping literary aspects that would make a work compelling and attractive to a large audience. If science fiction spends to much on the literary aspect and looses its science then it starts to edge towards the realm of fantasy.

On one hand science is lost and on the other hand the audience is lost. SF is often written bearing in mind the capabilities of the greater audience. This causes the watering down of the science, sometimes in order to create a good story the rules are bent. If SF and SF alone was used to teach science not only would little be taught, part of tit would be taught wrong. SF can be a good tool in a class room, or even around the family bookshelf or TV, if the teacher is using it to its full potential by expanding on the science mentioned and by debunking the false science.
