I think it’s more like “Carl Sagan WAS arguably science’s biggest rockstar—the ultimate champion for logic and reason.”

No, he wasn't. He made an absurd statement about unusual claims requiring unusually thorough proofs, which is utter hogwash, pure emotion!

He also used to prime himself for writing by doing pot.

Yeah, I guess IF he was, it would have been while he was alive...However, it appears that he wasn’t a “rockstar” even then except for the fact that he smoked weed...like a rock star.
