One thing I appreciate about this community is that people are willing to call out others' dubious sources and unsubstantiated claims. I only ever comment here when I see something I'm almost certain is untrue - that's even why I made my account in the first place. Otherwise, I quietly upvote.

It's kind of unfortunate how often internal debunking happens (e.g. a pinned post is proved to be false or questionable by a commenter), but I just see that as a necessary growing pain for a community built to unravel some of the world's most tightly held and complex secrets.
