PS: This is NOT MY opinion, but the opinion of a large body of historical scholars. Besides which, as someone with training i the field, should I not be obligated to correct information that I know is incorrect, or should I let it slide?
I have the same problem when it comes to topics including "the face on Mars," "Planet X," "the Moon landings were faked," etc. Unfortunately, in the opinion of some people, the "so-called experts" are uninterested in listening to the important new knowledge on the topic from those whose mindset has not been set in stone by traditional training. Unfortunately, not only do such people not wish to learn from those with training in the field, but for some reason they seem to have a lot more time to compose and post Internet messages on the topic (not to mention getting radio and TV time to promote their non-mainline hypotheses) than those with training in the field . . .
