There is absolutely a point. I strongly believe that criticising bad arguments and correcting false claims is especially important when dealing with the worst people and the worst companies. Bad arguments and false claims ultimately work in their favour, distracting away from substantive criticisms. Don’t hand them that advantage.

I look forward to your criticisms of Tesla's bad arguments and corrections of Tesla's false claims.
But maybe we should just call them what they are: lies.
