I take a different perspective, "Scientists owe it to the public to ensure their results are effectively communicated back to society." This approach requires scientists to take responsibility for dissemination of their work, but it doesn't require them to be the vehicle. (1/2)
Few dispute that some scientists just aren't equipped to communicate with the public and, therefore, shouldn't. There are more effective/trained communicators who can spread the message. And, in terms of strategic comms, the primary investigator may not be the best messenger.
