If the speaker says something incorrect, they can't be right, therefore they're wrong. I don't see the difference.

It depends on whether what they say is coming from them or if it's something they are citing; "I am extremely attractive" can be countered with "you are wrong", but "People say I am extremely attractive" cannot be, because I did not come up with the opinion, others did.
"They are wrong" is then valid, or "That is not correct" if I have misinterpreted them.
