Wouldn't be the first time someone was wrong about something.

Well, do explain! You can't just say something is incorrect and not elaborate.

You can't just say "completely wrong" when it's clearly not.

grandalf Feb 10, 2010 View on HN

Not sure what your point is. Everyone is wrong about something.

Yep, it's possible to argue completely incorrect things.

You could be correct, but "wrong" with no explanation doesn't do much to convince people. Can you say why you think these are wrong?

They're doing it ever so slightly wrong if they just take your word for it like that!

If it is factually wrong please tell me how.

Did someone not realize this says "You aren't wrong" ?
