That is definately true, but what come to mind is that it is possible that they spark these ideas...something that starts off as a fictional dream could be logically dismantled by the powers that be. I mean something as trivial as simple as flying. Started off as a dream but because a reality using science.
Rather than looking at them as Prophets its probably more fitting to reffer to them as instigators...in theory.
