I did read it. People are allowed to disagree with your conclusions. Comment guidelines ask us all not to make such accusations.

To say that a statement is incomplete, but not strictly speaking wrong, is perfectly compatible with describing it informally as "wrong" in the sense used in the title (i.e.: "not the most appropriate possibility").

To informally describe something as wrong in an article focused on how it's wrong to informally describe something is incoherent.

There's a certain irony in pointing me towards the guidelines on the grounds that I have limited patience with your comments that violate them in various ways. I'm not sure that this is a productive discussion.
