I'm thinking that no, it doesn't. Which begs the question of why we do it? Is it a psychological thing?

I assume Mr Tyson refers to Neil degrasse Tyson in this case since it's a science question but not sure why he's relevant in this case.

omg, why I'd go to Mike Tyson? this is a facepalm moment

I, for some reason, thought that Mike Tyson said something about this and was googling that a bit earlier.

Because the first comment mentioned boxing. I'm pretty sure they intentionally conflated Neil with Mike for comedic effect
