Even a poet should have at least a basic understanding of how an engine works

On the other hand, writers/artists trying to incorporate science and technology into their art while not actually understanding how the science/technology works are hilarious to the people that do.

(And I say this both as someone who somewhat knows technology and as an amateur sci-fi writer who definitely gets a ton of stuff wrong.)
