Replying to @Nymphomachy
I never liked that because it's essentially a retcon, like pretty much all the old school stories the term "science fiction" was invented for are "sci-fi" by that definition

Ellison himself kind of ended up giving in to that, saying the stories he was interested in shouldn't even be called "science fiction" but instead "speculative fiction" or "spec fic" You still hear that sometimes but it didn't really catch on
