Tyson never claimed he is "doing" science. He keeps calling himself an educator.

Well he still serves the purpose of making science seem cool and hip, opposing shitheads popularizing "science is just opinions" bullshit. He is also fond of emerging truth so he would surely apologize for incorrect statements when questioned about them.

Science doesn't need to be made cool and hip and he's advancing terrible stereotypes.

Probably the worst stereotype he is responsible for, is that all scientists are just pedantic assholes who spend their whole day on social media going >actually

How bout science is hard and really complicated, you should just trust whatever bullshit I say rather than learn it yourself. Or that science = truth. Or pushing Popper's or Kuhn's bullshit.

He clearly mentions several instances where he did science and was published, then gives reasons why it somehow doesn't count. This is clear example of "no true scotsman" fallacy. Then he answers the question in present tense when it was asked in past tense
