People are responsible for their words. If they say "I think...", "As far as I can tell...", "I feel..." that's an opinion that we correct by educating. If they are very new we give them the benefit of the doubt.

We've had users with plenty of karma and years on the platform make straight up false statements.

Sometimes it overlaps with "be kind" - someone says something deliberately wrong without adding /s because they think it is funny. We're careful about humor because it is never an excuse to confuse new people.

Sometimes it overlaps with soapboxing/ranting to some degree.
