IFLS fags don't actually love science, they barely even know what science is and don't really care to. They wear NASA t-shirts and open their mouth REALLY wide when they see SLS because they are trying to signal to everyone around them that they are intelligent. The reality is that like most normies they are a vapid pseudo-intelligent husk who's interests and hobbies exist exclusively for social signaling.
A real enthusiast in any field loves their chosen subject for a reason, their chosen subject has some deep meaning to them which ignites their passion and drives them to do something in their lives.
You can easily tell these people apart by how they engage with the subject, a true enthusiast can discuss a subject with you for hours, and can be encouraged to the height of passionate expression in doing so. A poseur merely surrounds themselves with merchandise of the subject, they will have many shirts, toys, gimmicks and knicknacks but their understanding and ability to engage with the subject will be puddle deep at best.
