From what I've read and heard Joss say (which I suppose isn't all that much), I get the sense that he really isn't "into" the science part of science fiction any more than is necessary to further the plot. I'm not sure where he stands on the matter of war and tactics. The Honor Harrington books are chock full of both (to the point where I started to find it overwhelming).
On Basilisk Station is such a classic and I've read it a bunch of times. I made it through maybe another 4 or 5 of the books and just drifted away to other stories (probably fantasy). As much as I love SiFi, all the battles and horrid deaths made me weary and depressed. The clever plot twists and Honor's strong character is what kept me reading long after I would have normally bailed.
Interesting question....Maybe someday Joss will comment on the series and we can put the matter to rest!

I've been sane a long while now, and change is good...
