Just saying, indirectly, that being right, for the wrong reasons, i.e. 
belief in it, rather than knowing the facts, isn't *that* huge of a 
problem, for the believer. They may be doing the right thing, for the 
wrong reason, but they don't "step off the plane, in mid-flight", unlike 
the twit that "believes" the exact opposite (such as believing that 
climate is fake).
