Most people need soundbite length shorthand to understand. I don't think it is appropriate for Dr. Tyson to use "genetic modification" for what you (Eric) call "the 'traditional' way of genetic modification." It confused the issue. You get into discussions of "the traditional way of genetic modification" vs the "non traditional way." Which reduces the subject to a matter of honoring tradition or not.
I believe it will be clearer to voters if the terms "genetic selection" and "genetic modification" are used consistently.
