Do you get joy out of stifling people's imagination?
True story. When I was "flying" the Magellan spacecraft to Venus, I had a librarian in a public library get upset with me after she found out what I was doing for a living. She said, "All of you scientists have wrecked my enjoyment of reading SiFi involving the planet Venus". She so wanted it to be a watery swamp with astounding creatures; she truly wished we had never explored that world in reality.
You may want to live in a fantasy world, however; IMHO, there is enough exciting real stuff out there to spark anyone's imagination and wonder.
