There are excellent examples of scientific work. As you say, even if they
turn out to be totally wrong, they are based on real facts. They don't just
quote Moore's law and extrapolate dates from there. They don't estimate the
size of the human brain compared to a disk drive and extrapolate the
arrivals of human uploads at the same time as large-enough disk drives.
This is exactly the kind of real work I am talking about. However, everyone
needs to realize that this kind of work proceeds a lot more slowly than the
hype that is easier to produce!
