So long as we're correcting people, no. The comment in question says "apparently" the character was named after him. Someone replied that was in fact the case. Then you came along and shamed the person for confirming it.
for what is worth the parent comment I responded to was: "Ammusingly, Paul Stamets is the name of a scientist in the newest star trek series." The clarification was added afterwards, but who cares. if people want to downvote me, go ahead :)
