we disagree on this one justanother hubbard's claim to fame was not as a writer on diverse topics though he did write other sorts of fiction but specifically as an author of stories and novellas in the science fiction pulps especially campbell's astounding where as you say he first published dianetics material just as a e van vogt another dianetics supporter or robert heinlein would properly be billed as science fiction writers so should hubbard it is clearly the one thing for which he was best known in and it remains an important part of his career there's no shame in it
