Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

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.
