When I first heard allegations that Neil deGrasse Tyson had a creative memory problem, I ignored it. I have no problem with Tyson--hes fun, entertaining, and talks about science a lot (just like me). The issue kept popping up in my news feed, and I continued to ignore it. Then it appeared that Wikipedia was ALSO ignoring (and/or scrubbing) the story, and I got interested. I dont particularly care whether Neil deGrasse Tyson is impeccably accurate in everything he says or does (as some appear to believe) or is a serial fabulist (as others claim). I DO care about whether Wikipedia is an open-source source of objectively verifiable information. I will be reading the Wiki entry on Tyson with increasing interest as this story-about-a-nonstory continues.
