I saw fact checkers going to town to discredit someone not going with the "accepted" narrative. For example they would say:
- Wrong, X is 9.999999 high.
- Misleading. While X is indeed 10 metres high, the author of the claim measured it from top to bottom instead of generally accepted bottom to top way of measuring.
- Wrong, X is 9.999999 high.
- Misleading. While X is indeed 10 metres high, the author of the claim measured it from top to bottom instead of generally accepted bottom to top way of measuring.
etc.
