One spent his whole life working as a scientist and lecturer on science itself. The other abandoned his education and pursued a career of writing trashy novels based on the most suspect of junk science. Now Michael Crichton is my favorite fiction authors, because he takes scientific theory and runs with it, but his books and thoughts are as far from reality as you can come. Thinking that Crichton can properly speak to the science of what is going on right now would be like claiming Bill Bryson is qualified to be a cartographer.
