You can tell that Terminator 2 is fiction because the tech guy takes responsibility for what he unleashed on society.



Well, arguably he only takes responsibility when held at gunpoint.


He takes responsibility when he is shown what will happen if his work continues. He also sacrifices his own life.


I don't like that scene.

Any real tech guy would go, "Wait a minute, if he came back from the future to sire John, wouldn't that mean that even that wasn't the first timeline? So that would imply that even without the hardware we have in the lab that someone somewhere will invent something similar, which will then in turn lead to this Skynet and so forth?"
