Bumping once. Should this be done up as a YTTKW instead?

I'm actually thinking this is a form of Recycled In Space.

I thought about that, but Recycled In Space is about stories that are redone with a twist. That is, Honor Harrington is Horatio Hornblower IN SPACE, but Horatio Hornblower isn't The Napoleonic Wars "IN SPACE."

That might be the closest match, though...

I know it's about plots, but it does seem to be the closest thing we have.

This probably Show Their Work with some Strawman Political. David Webber is a notorious example of this (especially in the Star Fire stories). The biggest issue is that he takes the names (or ideas), but he really flattens out the arguments (the hero is always on the "right" side).
