>he's another victim of "popular science".
What does this even mean? That if someone is popular or capable of communicating complex science in an engaging way, that is some sort of a bad thing? The fact that you included Neil Degrasse Tyson, a literal astrophysicist, as another example of a “victim” makes it sound like anyone that speaks in any way other than a vocal version of a scientific paper beneath you.
>These folks aren't explorers, they're tourists.
James Cameron has been designing and building diving equipment and underwater cameras since 1989, when he filmed The Abyss. He has been involved in, and oversaw, the design of the deepest submersible ever made. He and Bob Ballard have the most experience in the world of diving to the Titanic. He is one of the few people on the planet that has understanding of all aspects related to this accident. Oh, and they did interview Ballard (who’s he) and Cameron. [1]
