I also look at it like this: Cats does a lot to contribute to the board. Given the volume he puts up, hitting a few clangers now and then should really be seen as forgivable on a percentage basis. Also, so busy looking after the board means well, less time for doing the diligence, so again, I think we can afford to be generous.
Another point: It's easy to accuse and blame, but how many who do also contribute to the same level, or even to a comparable level?
Note: Calling out a mistake or clanger is NOT the same as accusing and blaming. Big fan of the former, not so much of the latter.
I am frustrated with the conflicting instructions given! What happened to “verify before you post”? The volume of Cats posts is legendary. Certainly they could not all have been read much less verified. The fact that cats is a moderator and can “sticky” her own posts allowed these to escalate. This is this sites equivalent to a BLUE CHECK.

I could not agree more.
Some days this place looks like catsfive's personal soapbox, because all you see is post after post of articles penned and pinned by her.
I respect your willingness to admit fault.
That's more than I can say for a lot of mods elsewhere.

With about a 30/70 accuracy
Did you just assume my cat's gender
I doubt there's a single person on this board who hasn't accidentally shared misinformation over the last couple years.
It's coming at us from all directions.
