I completely agree that unverified claims create a heavy burden for maintainers. My only point was about the language used: 'disparaging' to me implies a bad-faith attack or a dismissive attitude, whereas this was just an honest technical mix-up that the poster immediately corrected.

I think part of the confusion with that word comes from things like corporate non-disparagement clauses. In those contracts, lawyers write the terms so broad that "disparagement" means saying anything negative, regardless of malice or intent.
