Wow! Correcting misinformation seems to be a touchy subject, with room for improvement on both sides of what seems to a fence, a division for some reason. I feel that (while maintaining civility, respect, and manners) incorrect information, misquotes, wrong data, etc. needs to pointed out, and the correct information provided. Preferably with reliable sources being provided as needed. Personal opinion and preferences abound when it comes to Model A maintenance and repair, and sharing these is beneficial. We pick and choose what we like, but if and when someone puts out the wrong info and we know better, it's time to speak up! The voice of experience should carry a lot of weight. Conjecture, rumor and urban myth on the other hand, not so much!
If the evidence proves us wrong on something, why not just say "I stand corrected"?
