What the show presents could happen. My objection is with the idea that they can infer that it WILL happen.

Wholly agree. ToE has always been about interpolation, not extrapolation. We look at starting and end points, not the future. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the future Man o' War was a great laugh. It was like a floating battle ship. This is what happens when science is made into entertainment.
