Actually, he's at least partly right, because nucular physicists pronounce "fission" as "fishin'", which does rhyme with "mission" as he said.

Okay, I looked it up. They are both acceptable pronunciations "fi' shun" and "fi' zhun." So, at least my pronunciation isn't wrong. Besides, my pedantic brain looks at the comparisons "mission" and "vision" and can't make fission with two "s"s sound like a word that only has one.
