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.

You're against bad arguments and false claims? Cool!
Here are some bad arguments and false claims from Tesla about how fast the Cybertruck is:

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.
This isn’t Reddit, and I’m not American. I’m not interested in your culture war.
There was a deeper point to my earlier message. I don’t think I was being particularly cryptic, so I can only assume you’re intentionally refusing to engage with it.
What culture war? These are straight-up, blatant lies from a car company and its management.
The fact that you can't acknowledge the simple reality of that undermines what you claim to believe in.
