The point of labeling them "disputed" is not to change the minds of Trumpians, but to let undecideds know that there's possibly bullshit in here.
The 40% who will vote for Trump, I already understand that nothing will change their minds. The aim must be to cordon off the sepsis so it doesn't kill the body politic.
"Disputed" seems strangely soft however. "False" would be better I think, though probably it wouldn't do much of a difference.
I agree. Bullshit is bullshit and should be addressed as such.
