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).

Everyone knows OTOH is a shorter and more convenient way of writing 'other' /s

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...
