Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the Earth's ocean tides

Wow! I actually get to say NDT is wrong, and why!
Because the tide is not only affected by the moon’s varying gravity (its orbit is not a perfect circle) but also the sun, and they are not in a locked position, the bulge height (and slightly its position) varies. That’s why you have different tide levels and need a tide table to know how high (or low) any given tide will be. If he was correct, every high tide would be exactly the same height.
