Tyson is a good guy and has made significant contributions to science. Name some. What theories? What papers? http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/tyson/curriculum-vitae#research That's pretty standard stuff for a PhD and is matched by your average doctorate professor at a research university. I don't know much about the guy, but I've heard people who follow such things say that his actual contributions outside of being a celebrity are pretty modest. A sharp guy, to be sure, but we're not talking about a black Hawking here. |

Quoted: Nah uh! The penguin just said its because you believe in creation. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Sounds like someone has a hard on for Tyson because he doesn't like Tyson's views on global warming (or religion or whatever. Why didn't he call Tyson and ask him why he thinks Bush said that? Weak sauce. The motivations for examining NDT's statements are irrelevant. NDT's statements stand or fall on their own. The record shows no such statements by Bush in the way that NDT presents them. This is confirmed by the WH archives and seven Bush aides, including a press secretary and speech writers. Sean Davis asked for a comment by NDT about an earlier episode of his fabrications. This was the response: "Thanks for your interest in my work. Just some background: When I am invited to give a talk, especially to an audience that is not the general public, but to a specific gathering of people within a trade, I tune the contents for that audience, for that time, and for that place. So tone and flavor and context and intent are all key elements to any message I convey — all missing to anyone who was not present at the time. I have enough defenders in this thread that I need not rehash already-cited comments. But if this article contains the entire critique of my presentation to Tableau Software — the contents of 2 out of 60 slides — then I consider the talk to be a success, even to eavesdroppers." Oh. I guess if he fabricates stories on only two to 60 slides it's OK. He hasn't responded to the Bush quote fabrication story. This is something that only matters to people who hate Tyson because of his comments about religion, global warming or some other issue that they are emotionally attached to. You're wrong. I care about none of those things. I care about a public figurehead for science who perhaps can't be bothered to not make up presidential quotes to suit his point. Nah uh! The penguin just said its because you believe in creation. |

Quoted: Discounting the claims of creationism as being a ridiculous pseudo science is bias? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Perhaps in the field of Law making up citations is par for the course, but scientists take that rather seriously. Quoted: Discounting the claims of creationism as being a ridiculous pseudo science is bias? Quoted: Quoted: Or those who are defending him are so vested in what he says they remain blind by their own bias behavior. See below quote from you which aptly shows such bias behavior. That's what this is really about Tyson pokes holes in people's irrational beliefs so his misremembering some comment George Bush probably did not make is blown up to "He's Da Debil" Whoops accusing me of lying now, lol. |

See the main issue isn't that he was mistaken, or remembered something wrong. By his own admission he falsifies the content of his anecdotes. If someone is willing to lie about something when it doesn't matter, what is someone willing to lie about when it does matter.

Besides I improved your quote to being far more awesome. I said no such thing, and in fact have been railing against it the entire thread. What my comment to you addressed is the notion that a talk should not be tailored to the audience. Nuh uh... Obviously you're tuning your content now because the context, flavor and timing are absent. (Please note, I'm using you as an example of why what Senior Tyson does, and why it's wrong). Essentially he wants his cake (In this case to be able to take others quotes out of context, and 'tune them for content') and to eat it to, by claiming others can't do the same to him. He wants to remove context from quotes (thus creating the misquote) when it suits him, and when called on it, claims his context is vitally important. Think of the same kind of idiocy that Jon Stewart does on the Daily show... "I'm making a joke, but you have to take me seriously!" "You can't take me seriously, I'm just making a joke!" Can't have it both ways. |

Smart dudes. Tyson hasn't contributed much, but he doesn't act as if he has. His fame mostly stems from the internet circlejerk about him, which he has always seemed uncomfortable with. Still, a smart dude. Bill Nye is an engineer who taught a kid's show and now thinks he knows everything. Douche. |
