Does your argument lead to the conclusion that only verifiably correct and true speech should be allowed?

No. I'm fine with someone orating their opinions. Blogging about them, writing to newspapers with them. What should not be allowed is that they are framed as factual statements, repeated by those in public offices or used to make policy.

I don't make policy proposals, I just want people to think about whether deliberate misinformation infringes upon the rights of others.
