A "fact error" is a term of art in journalism. It's like perjury on the witness stand; once it's shown, the entire testimony becomes invalid. A j-school student that turns in a paper with even one fact error immediately gets a failing grade for that paper.
What I was telling you is whoever wrote this knew better.
