I’m OK with your first reason, but not your second. The reason is that this kind of thing is way, way on the wrong side of the line between educational and simply entertaining. It’s counter-productive pseudo-education.
If it made you aware of places and things you might not have discovered otherwise, I see that as a very small benefit. There are many truly educational paths to discovery for these things. That pseudoscience got you there is not really a redeeming quality of this kind of nonsense IMO. And how many viewers go from this stuff to serious, plausible avenues of inquiry? I fear the number is very, very small.
