The talent to write good science fact isn't the same for science fiction & instead of saying someone flipped through TV stations & saw "crappy soap operas" or some common language phrase, Sagan has his protagonist flip past "execrable daytime serials." In place of "green" he'll use "verdant," or "tutelage" rather than "teaching," & other offenses against the sound advice of Strunk & White's to use simpler words.
