I agree with your post in general but consider that accuracy and being correct is hard and takes time and consideration. This is something almost no people value when speaking in normal conversations or the equivalent online venues (Twitter, Facebook, reddit, HN, etc.). Take your post, for example, with its incorrect use of "heliocentricity". It means an astronomical model in which the Earth and planets orbit the Sun at the center of the Solar System. It is the accepted theory of planetary motion for centuries and has many different ways to be independently verified :). Not the best example of something incorrect that might be promoted with astroturfing.
