Well in this case the people who are wrong include most of academia, most of the popular media, and the former president of the United States. They were all touting the 77 cents figure I think that's a pretty big deal.

You should read some actual research if you truly think the broad academic consensus is that women make 77 cents on the dollar and that's the end of the story.

I see much more media disputing the 77 percent figure than presuming it. Don’t you?

(And as a side note, the existence of a raw 77% gap is factually true. Media would have to argue that it’s entirely due to sexism for them to step into territory you object to)
