But I think the fact that you are a physicist puts you in a different category of reader than most. Most don't care or won't notice the things that you notice. Meaning, it is more difficult to suspend your disbelief than mine, at least as as the science goes. In other words, you've got the problem of expertise, which isn't unlike being an audiophile: it is nice to have a developed ear, but the problem is that an audiophile can enjoy music less often than someone who doesn't have an ear for quality hifi.On the other hand, while you lose enjoyment in one place--e.g. a SF movie with dubious science--you might gain it in other words, e.g. a SF movie with good science that you get to enjoy the subtleties of that others miss.(As a side note, about a year ago I purchased a really nice Marantz amplifier with Elac speakers...it is wonderful to hear music with such great sound, but it has reduced my tolerance for sub-par bluetooth speakers and such, so in a way it has made me enjoy music less, unless I'm in the room with my stereo, and most of my music listening is in the kitchen, which is where that stereo isn't!)</blockquote>
