nobody calls themselves a scientist because they watched Mythbusters, but they might get interested in it through watching it. That's the point.

    I would argue that that point is weak and of dubious merit.

    I would argue you're just picky.

    Okay. I don't see how that refutes any of my prior statements. Promoting junk science and then defending junk science as the only way to get people interested in STEM is a flimsy debate tactic.

    If you like the show you like the show. I'm not here to poo poo people's taste in programming. But promoting it as culturally important and "it gets kids into STEM!" is disingenuous.
