I think the hard part would be that we have to have more people engage articles to combat them. Not simply to disregard what they find nonsensical. I at least find that to be my problem. Instead of jumping into the comments to engage with the author and challenging their thoughts, I tend to think "well best to avoid this one," and move on.

Not sure if that's other peoples problems, but I think more engagement might help. We as a community have driven this content, we also need to put in the same effort on commenting. It might help people reconsider their opinions and what they put on here.

Yes, I think generally you are right. The challenge is always - at least for me - to find the right balance between making it clear that there are issues with the accuracy of the content while not being unnecessarily discouraging.
