Not to say you are wrong, but why do you claim that your one source is more right than the one source that is the article? Just saying that there's a book that says otherwise shouldn't be proof. E.g., I bet I can even find a book that says Trump is our savior, Jesus 2.0.
*edit: I knew this would get downvoted. Why discuss logically when you can downvote, right?

If I say "the widget was invented in 1979," and you've got a widget that was manufactured in 1973, then I'm obviously mistaken, absent strong evidence that your widget is a hoax or something. My personal credibility doesn't enter into it.
