Misinformation is presenting falsehoods as truth. Speculating based on past behavior is something else.


To be fair, this thread exists because OP made the claim as if it wasn't speculation and someone took them up on it which only then made OP clarify that they were speculating.


So if you say the earth is flat and you are just speculating based on no evidence it isn't misinformation? That is what you did and you should own it.
