It's just interesting to think about all the posters who argue that science is not allowed to speculate, or that science lacks the imagination to deal with extra dimensions, and so forth.

Well, in my observation, those posters exist only in fantasy.

...or that science lacks the imagination to deal with extra dimensions...

Well, those exist in one sense, but you've misconstrued them in any event.

...and so forth.

That's rather vague.

Scientists don't tell them how to decorate their double-wides, and they shouldn't tell scientists how to think.

PS. The dimensions that science cannot deal with are those which follow no consistent, rational patterns and which exhibit no properties of materiality. In other words, dimensions which are indistinguishable from non-existence.
