Let the information speak for itself. No need to start a war.
Well, I don't agree with even one thing you have written.

1. As someone who actually teaches writing to people writing high level reports, equal weight should never be given to points that have no evidence. That's what we're talking about here - points that have evidence versus those that do not. They're not matters of opinion.

2. Signs of passion mean that people care. I care when people are given the wrong information. It makes me cross.

3. You cannot let the information speak for itself when people have incorrect ideas about the fundamentals and so cannot even understand the information.

4. I will start a war - as you describe it - when people ae being deliberately and constantly mislead.
