I grew up thinking that. As I got older, I realized they’re actors like Bill Nye. That style of edu- tainment helped me internalize the scientific method. I loved the explosions growing up, but now I just love the humility, educational content, and entertainment. All that being said, the explosion tests they did were a good wake-up call for any young kids who wanted to play with explosives/ fireworks. Also, Discovery should have better advertised the fact they weren’t scientists. They curtailed it by calling them professionals, which is anyone who’s paid.
