@ConfederateHobo They lean too hard not on the Arthur C Clarke quote, but on it's opposite. Not that sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, but sufficiently studied magic is indistinguishable from science.

I like seeing the implication of the original quote in fiction more, it's much more interesting. There's stuff like Stargate, with sufficiently advanced aliens posing as Gods (which does loop back to the sufficiently studied magic opposite once the main characters meddle), and the cosmic horror genre (where there is no hope of understanding).
