I enjoy Aaronson's blog/interviews, but he is not an "underrated scientist", he is perhaps an underrated science communicator. Being a science communicator, however, is somewhat unrelated to being a scientist. Looking at his actual scientific work, he is in fact doing good work, but he is not in the same league as, let's say, Peter Shor.
