I don't mind putting things in multiple genres, but if you can tell the same story by changing a few words, there isn't much point. By the way, my Western comparison was based on an example I saw years ago in (I think) Galaxy magazine. It showed one paragraph that was obviously from a Western and one paragraph where the words were changed slightly, but the story was the same. The point was that it was bad science fiction (if you were willing to call it that at all) because the SF elements were irrelevant to the story.
