TED sells tickets. Malcolm Gladwell sells books and appearances. They won't do that as well as they do now if they didn't embellish their stories with facts and points that the general masses relate to. On the bright side - Anything these people do to shift the attention of this generation from cars, hoes and money is a step closer to a somewhat brighter future for all of us.
