No matter if the claim is 10% or 100% it should be made and it should be heard.

I was not referring to the statement that the current contributor terms would lead to data loss in Australia when I said "disproved FUD". But there has been the claim "CC-BY-SA works perfectly well". If it actually works has to be tested in court. But there are enough lawyers that have told us "it might very well break" that the _perfectly_ part of the statement is definitely false. If it worked _perfectly_ well noone would have any doubt about the current license. Yet the statement surfaces over and over again.
