That’s more or less how I always took it, not necessarily to the accuracy of the science so much as consideration of the “science” with the closer to real life science being harder. That said star trek is still squishy but it’s actually sci-fi, whereas star wars by contrast is just fantasy in a space setting, not at all sci-fi whatsoever.
