I would say, pleasantly, that Bill Nye suffers from one of the classic blunders of academia. Just because you’re smart about one specific niche subject in one specific niche field doesn’t mean you are smart about every subject in every field. Most scientists are quite honestly just as knowledgeable as the rest of us in any field that they didn’t academically study. That sounds like common sense, but once you have a PhD on your name you kind of forget it.
