It's not realistic to call for people to continue reading science fiction but not be influenced by it, and it's not realistic to tell people how they should interpret ideas in science fiction. If the author thinks a technology in their books is problematic, someone is always going to say "yes it's a problem in the book, but the problems are part of a fictional narrative, whereas the idea, which is good, transcends that narrative and need not have those problems which were assigned to them arbitrarily by the author".
