Your lack of scholarship is evidenced by implying that L Ron Hubbard was only a science fiction writer.

Had you done any research, you'd have discovered he was also a Master Mariner licensed to sail any vessel in any water, was a member of New York's prestigious Explorer's Club that only accepts members who have made contributions to society in the area of new explorations. (Hubbard twice carried the Explorer's Flag on expeditions.) For the US Navy he conducted the Alaskan Radio Experimental Expedition testing out new ways to navigate.

L Ron Hubbard was one of the first licensed air pilots in the United States and his leters to Congressman and Senators in the 1940's helped assure the establishment of the Air Force as a separate entity from other military bodies. He was very well in Congress and the Senate.

Had you done research, you'd have discovered that his breakthroughs in biochemistry has resulted in the most effective drug rehabilitation program in the world, that is now used by Narconon, the largest private drug rehab network in the world. The only ones against it are the psychs and drug industries.

Hubbard's research in criminal rehabilitation is now used in more than 2,200 prisons worldwide, including every prison in Israel because of its spectacular success.

The only organizations that have since 1950 attempted to discredit Hubbard's discoveries because they were correctly recognized as direct threats to their monopolies and vast wealth are the psychiatric and drug industries, followed closely by the AMA that only represents 35 percent of medical doctors but dictates the entire profession and has ALWAYS fought any new development that would reduce the cash flow or reduce the number of hospital beds filled.

Incidentally, had you done any research you'd have known that Science Fiction (as he wrote it in the 1950's) was the literary genre of all the scientists. SciFi is a ficitonal account that contains advanced not yet existing scientific developments. Every major government in the world has a department (in its war intelligence area) that reads every science fiction book to get ideas.
