Good, glad you've got that settled.
I expect to see no more from you about the matter.
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Writing to the paper saying "this person is wrong; there is no controversy" is not perpetuating an imaginary controversy.
Yes it is.
Less so than the alternative which is to let them spout garbage unchallenged.

A quarter of British people believed the Apollo landings were faked. It's not because they did any research or seriously thought about it. It's just because they kinda remember they read some stuff about waving flags and movie sets and stuff and just absorbed the idea that NASA having faked it was the accepted story because that was what they had heard.
