Hogwash. False dichotomy. Not expecting a scientist to be grammatically conversant is as bad as not expecting a nonscientist to be scientifically literate.

(I'm half joking and half serious. But seriously, the split between the natural sciences and the social sciences is getting much narrower. Check out John Brockman's The Third Culture sometime. Or Steven Pinker's How the Mind Works.)

Alex had better watch out, cause I'm sending my deputy (to be named) after him.
