The “transporters can do anything and can win every battle and make everything in the spaceship show, including the spaceships, obsolete” fans are the worst.
Yeah, scifi fans will get caught up in the trivia of how future technology functions, rather than any other features of the story. It’s frustrating. Endless debates about space battles or how warp drives work. They’ll treat the genre like it’s Dragonball Z. That stuff can be interesting, but the meat of scifi is always about humanity now and how humanity might progress (for better or worse)
The “who would win in a fight” Star Wars discussions that become tiresome midi-chlorian count estimates (with “fantasy football” style team match ups that stack up the counts and compare them) are about as exhausting, too.
