I mean, Ghu, look at the 'benchmark' sci-fi series that defined the genre: Triplanetary & the rest of the Lensman books.
That's definitely my all-time favourite space opera series... but it ain't SF. (At least, not by the "only one change for the what-if question" rule.)
To be fair, he did start writing the series in the 1930s, before the current definition was accepted.
