...hasn't that always been the prime definition of science fiction? Regardless of it being watered down? I don't see how it's possible to really water it down beyond this:

"A genre of fiction dealing with the impact of imagined innovations in science or technology, often in a futuristic setting."

It's never changed. It's always been that formula with a couple variations, but when you strip away the unique factors, it's always been either a narrative in the future or a narrative concerning mind-bending tech/innovations.
