"This cult is built around the ideas found within “Dianetics” and the science fiction genre for which Hubbard was known."

As a Scientologist since 1973, I can tell you that the science fiction angle is blown all out of proportion in the press and online discussions.

While it's true that it figures prominently in the OT III materials, space opera is of little to no relevance in the rest of the technology.
