In the long run, it's worse to make overstating claims because it undermines trust in the original message. The main criticism of conspiracy theorists (pick you brand) is that they do not follow the evidence trail. If you want to be on "the right side", you need to ensure your claims are better backed up, otherwise its just two sides making stuff up until one person gives up.
