I think Geoff Rasmussen recommends using a "Disproven x" event when you
have found something to be incorrect.
You could, of course, make this a private event.

Yep, that's a possibility. If I put them as Alternates though I

I think reason for keeping "things you flat out know are wrong when you

data and its source, but that you have found it to be incorrect, and
explain the evidence". This would be especially appropriate for

Some things are just opinions. If you ask 10 people you'll get 10
opinions. Me: The census is a 'solid' source. (As solid as censi can
be.) Your cousin is just your cousin. Did your cousin quote a
different source?
