User on r/ThreeBodyProblem thinks the show had a dumb and unrealistic portrayal of scientists. Career scientists in the comments disagree.

This one isn't huge, but gave me a chuckle. OP opens with the following statement

Anyone else think the Netflix series was dumbed down too much?

Characters explain things in too much detail and at a low level that's unnatural. Also, the general dialogue among the scientists and leaders isn't realistic - I've worked in a Medical school/Biology lab and even the undergrads spoke at a higher level than in the show.

User Geektime1987 points out that scientists are not a monolith, and many scientists have directly praised the show for its authenticity.

Geektime1987:

Yet I've seen many other scientists say they spoke realistically. They said they spent 2 weeks shadowing scientists and were shocked how much they all cursed and cracked jokes. I actually think the show doesn't over explain too many things. The books can be pages and pages of explaining things. You say too much detail the books are the ones that go into pages and pages of detail. Also what country did you go to school because in the west students in my experience curse left and right all the time

This is met with accusations of straight-up lying and just flat-out denial.

Here's where it starts, but you can find little pockets all over the thread.

Despite several career scientists chiming in to say they do indeed talk like that, this is the hill OP has chosen to die on.
