My only problem is that it\\\'s listed as a trope on a few pages. It would be better as trivia (the same goes for the rock and metal hardness scale), especially since \\\"hardness\\\" is so ill defined. A lot of stuff on the higher ends of this scale (especially the film, TV, and video game entries) are not what I, or a lot of people, would call \\\"hard\\\" SF, no matter how accurate the science is, because they don\\\'t require much scientific knowledge to appreciate, unlike the actual hard SF literature, and even if the science is important to the plot, they\\\'re generally not about the technology itself. I don\\\'t think hard SF can be effectively done in mediums other than literature, since info dumps and related tropes are a big part of it.

I think this is just for fun really. Not many people live by the scale, except for the few who only read the harder stuff.
