In this case "mind-bending" means the 'science communicator's' mind was bent, a pitifully low bar. This is Vice after all, their headlines are even more embarrassing than their content.

On the OTW hand I agree with you, but on the OTOH hand I support the rehashing/reframing of scientific or technical ideas in the interest of bending the public's minds.
Similarly, I roll my eyes when concepts from my abstruse specialty get butchered in movies or TV, but at the same time I appreciate the exposure they are giving to those ideas (ersatz or not).

It's funny because these guys who lament science communication are the same ones who'll call anyone else using terms from non-STEM fields "gatekeepers" at the drop of a hat in my experience...
