Some people don't want to, because on some level they suspect it would probably not end well.
So instead just keep saying, "That is your opinion."
Dude, in some deep philosophical way everything is just my opinion, but in some more normal, useful way, when I forward your complaint to Wikipedia my work is done. Take it up with them. Request the page be edited.
Wikipedia, and every legal textbook, and pretty much every source in the world, may be wrong. It is, indeed, possible.
Every 19th century SCOTUS decision way have been the opposite of what he thinki it was... who knows? Some conspiracy, whatever.
But it isn't my job to prove the reality of the world to every person I speak to.
So they can just switch to "that is just wikipedia's opinion, as well of the opinion of every legal textbook, etc." and we're good.
Or ask a lawyer. Or read a book... something other than deducing reality entirely from one's own emotional state, wishes, etc..
