I get where they’re coming from. It isn’t that mis/dis-information is good. It’s just that they aren’t going to get the accurate information anyway.
For example, who actually created this university? Can you tell me? Does it actually matter? If this story causes good outcomes, where otherwise there would be a void of information which could be filled by someone else, then the story that causes good is the best option.
You say “yes” as if that means something. How? What changes if we just leave the gap of knowledge unfilled?
You didn’t answer who created it. You did t say what would happen. You just said “yes” as if that alone is enough justification. What good does it do? If the gap is instead filled with mysoginist religious garbage, what’s the benefit from telling people this isn’t true?
For people un-effected, fine. Let them know. For people who benefit from it, or who don’t hurt others because of it, what is gained? This isn’t answered by just saying “yes.” Put more effort in or I assume you don’t actually have any reason.

Yes. You can look it up and see. Or even read more comments further down talking about it.
Yes it matters.

What gap are you talking about? Yes you can look it up who created it.
No I didn’t answer who created it because… you can look it up. The information exists.
I don’t really need to put more effort into an answer because it doesn’t need it.
