People keep making this technical argument
Technically Sodium reacts with water, so if you keep them apart it should be fine.
Does not translate to
Carry sodium in your pocket, as long as your pocket is dry.

In non analogy terms - this is not how forums work anymore, at all.
This was maybe how they worked back in the bbs days or slashdot era.
Today - theyre just places to generate noise and saturate human attention.
The battle has moved to another level entirely, and people who bring up incorrect information are literally predictable props, used to confuse the audience.
Trolls KNOW how a comment is going to be refuted, and form statements which will either
1) dodge the filter,
2) be not vile, but will smuggle/trojan in arguments which are vile
3) overwhelm the ability of people to defend
And if all of the above fail, they will harass or use other methods to "win".
The objective is screen real estate, to be the dominant thought.
