Not necessarily true. The false often has a large following, and some of that can be sheared away by reasoned critique and even polemic. To say nothing of satire.

@Alyosha Possibly, but to stop teaching what is right in order to refute that which is wrong gives the wrong recognition.

@AnnaWasHere Division of labor. Someone can teach the true, depending upon their apptitudes, and someone else can refute the false. Or you can dicide your own time between two projects.

Criticize ideas, not the person

@Convivial Not criticizing ideas is one step higher, but both wisdoms help.

@AnnaWasHere as they say in sport, play the ball, not the man
