* HardOnSoftScience: Discussed and criticized in the ''Art of Worldbuilding'' episode on genre. Marc notes how the SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfSciFiHardness often gets used as a measure of quality, with "hard" science fiction treated as superior for being more scientifically accurate and logically consistent while having more to say about humanity and where it's headed, while "soft" science fiction is dismissed as glorified fantasy or fairy tales. He sees this as a terrible way to judge the quality of a sci-fi work, noting that it could just as easily be turned around into a defense of soft sci-fi as thematically deeper and more character-focused and a consequent dismissal of hard sci-fi as emotionally sterile and caught up in [[ShownTheirWork showing off the author's scientific knowledge]]. What's more, he believes that the debate focuses too much on how the physical sciences are presented in a story at the expense of the social sciences and other academic disciplines, comparing it to judging the historical accuracy of a [[TheWestern Western]] by how the mechanics of traveling by wagon are depicted. He cites ''Series/TheExpanse'' as an example of a hard sci-fi series that's lauded for its scientifically accurate portrayal of space travel with speculative technologies, but one that he feels has a portrayal of politics, society, and the military that's almost as fantastical as ''Franchise/StarWars''.

* WeHaveReserves: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcwrq-8mrpI "Why Interstellar Armies Might Be Bigger (Or Smaller) Than You Think",]] Marc raises the idea that war in the future, especially interstellar warfare, might render the small, professional militaries and [[UsefulNotes/TheModernDayRambo elite special forces]] of the modern world obsolete in favor of a return to the massive conscript armies of the 20th century. Specifically, he believes the rise of smaller, more highly-trained militaries to be a product of the post-Cold War "end of history" in the '90s and of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror in the '00s and '10s, when the [[AmericaTakesOverTheWorld hegemonic US-led world order]] could swiftly win a CurbStompBattle against any force that opposed it (typically either a rogue state or a non-state terrorist/insurgent group). In a sci-fi scenario with a different geopolitical order, large standing armies and reserve forces may have more utility than a small elite force.

Then the intro video describes a battle in which an elven army of swordsmen and mages came to wage a [[HomeByChristmas quick, simple war]] against a tributary to bolster their emperor's prestige, only to find that their human opponents have come up with something new.

Sisko's evidence may have tricked them into the war a bit sooner than they'd planned, but the fact that they were able to attack fifteen Dominion bases so soon after joining the Federation Alliance suggests they'd already been mobilizing in secret, and the end result of the war might have ultimately been the same if Sisko had done nothing.
