The first question a publisher asks is "what shelf would it go on in the book store?"

In this particular case: "Science Fiction". I don't know of many stores that subdivide SF&F more than that.

Then you need to be pitching it to publishers as science fiction not RationalFic.

Agreed. It's generally just to the crowd here that I pitch it as RatFic.
