Cool, give us one for Terry here.
Comment on Neil deGrasse Tyson reads his peer review of Terrence Howard's mathematics theories

Rather than giving an entire unsolicited peer review, I would just mention there were issues with the paper and offer a full peer review if he’s interested. It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.
Now, if that happened, or if Terrence sent the paper and asked for a full peer review, I would take back my comment. But based on this video, it didn’t feel like that’s what happened.

Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.
By assuming he doesn’t know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.

Hmm, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about at this point… I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree. With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.
Considering he has a reputation for being douchey in literally the same manner, but towards common people, it seemed like course.
