What's wrong with that? If the post you're replying to is wrong and you go on to provide evidence of why it's wrong, then isn't this just clear, unambiguous communication?
I've noticed exchanges here where it's very difficult to tell if a particular comment is intended to agree, disagree or is completely irrelevent to what is being discussed. This is because a lot of comments here are not communicated well due to the programmer's tendency to abstract and ambiguate.
