Let me be clear: I myself am not a big fan of “mock people and then pretend it’s about teaching them”. This is just being a scumbag.

But this is not meant to be that, or if it’s used by someone in this capacity, it’s a very poor laughing matter indeed.

It is good, however, as a conversation starter to bridge the gap. Meant not as mockery, but as an illustrative example to explain how we shouldn’t be afraid of “scary words chemists say”.
