I don’t understand anyone starting from the premise they’re scientists. Nobody made that claim about the hosts? They’re very much entertainers who have an educational angle (sort of). I follow Adam and one thing he discusses often enough about the Mythbusters is that they were storytellers first, the scientific process was part of the story, and teaching was never really the intent even though we all feel like we learned from the show.

You don't need a degree to be a scientist, all you need is to apply the scientific method to your quest for knowledge.

Micheal Faraday never attended school after about the age of 8. He was absolutely a scientist, and certainly one of the greatest. Look around and see the world he gave you.
