True, though I do appreciate evman's point and I'd probably agree that the majority of what most people look at (TV being worse than reading) does promote a non-scientific way of thinking.. Not overtly anti-scientific, but just a magical way of thinking as opposed to a rational way.

Sci-fi is always at the bottom of the pile for popular fiction.
