Probably.

At its best, THS is hard-ish with a few superscience and major hand-waves.
Not to say that I don't love the pants off it though. :)
But those that argue with Space Opera / Fantasy / Comic Book genre conventions would find something to argue about in the most hard Sci Fi campaign anyone comes up with.
If you don't like a genre, then don't play. There's no need to pick it apart to the detriment of everyone else involved.
