That's not a counterpoint. That strip is countering a statement based on the flawed assumption that aliens would count using the same base-10 system most of us here use. Which really is the argument that falsehoods are [some portion of the time] rooted in wrong assumptions and premises. I would argue that this only strengthens the statement that facts exist. That some people (here on Earth) want to claim that 2+2=5 because they have invented their own number 2 (which they conveniently withhold), is precisely the kind of misinformation being discussed in the thread.
