Very true. The best sci fi is not really about science at all, but about human nature. It explores human nature by asking how we would act in a variety of unknown and counterfactual circumstances. The very best science fiction isn't just applied physics, it's also applied anthropology and philosophy
The whole thing about it is that science fiction does not usually offend anybody by making its suppositions for the situation the author is creating and seeing. That way, other people can see these situations through clear glass glasses, not ones with colored glass.
