> or they seem to contain false information I don't agree with flagging comments just because someone thinks they're false. I'm guessing that many things that the majority of people on HN consider false at a given point in time are actually subject to serious debate by knowledgeable people. For example, statements about Covid being primarily spread by droplets, which were made by the CDC early in the pandemic and were later shown to be false. If someone would have posted a comment back then saying it's more likely that Covid was spread by aerosols (which is what the CDC says today), should it have been flagged? "Facts" in news stories are frequently proven wrong as more information becomes available. If you think something is false, it's better to cite a reference that supports your position. Perhaps someone will cite a more convincing reference that disputes it, and people can delve further.
