I think it might be more accurate to say that they are "popularizing" science and giving people a way to possess a sort of rough summary of how evolution occurs in a way that is intelligible to them. Do you spend much time reading peer reviewed papers in scientific journals? Neither does John Q. If you want to popularize something you have to speak to the public in a way that they will understand.
I believe the hope, is that by popularizing science people who may not have realized how interesting they found it to be would seek out a much more fully developed understanding of a subject - or even become part of that subject and contribute to it.
Rephrase the above question if it was directed at me?
