I think the lesson of those articles is not that people should stop trying to correct a misleading or incorrect explanation, but rather, that some people on the internet (like the "expert" described there) are more interested in picking and winning "fights" rather than gently helping the author correct his article. If you see Pyon's comments, he was very aggressive and very internet-troll-like.

The wrong take from this would be "... and therefore, technical details don't matter and it's ok to be inaccurate."
