Okay, first of all, like you seem to get "right as in morally correct" with "right as in factually correct" mixed up sometimes, you're confusing "facts" and "truths".

It boils down to the basic premise of the chapter is answering the question "Do some furries have spiritual/religious beliefs?" Answer: Yes. Now, here's some fucking examples of furries with spiritual/religious beliefs.

That's the fact being expressed; that there are furries with spiritual/religious beliefs. Nobody actually gives a shit about the "truth" of those beliefs besides the believers, and certainly nobody actually gives a shit about the "facts" of those beliefs, because that misses the whole point of "belief" to begin with.

This is what I mean when I say you're complaining about "trivia", which is another word for fact. For instance, The Shape of Water won the Best Picture Oscar earlier this month (fact); now, we can debate if it deserved it or not, or why it won (truths), but if my purpose is to answer the question "What won the Best Picture Oscar for 2017?", I had better fucking answer that question with The Shape of Fucking Water. Furthermore, even if I didn't think the The Shape of Water deserved it, if my general point is "Aren't the Oscars fucking great?", maybe I should shut my trap and keep my opinions to myself.

Whether or not something is "true" or not is an important question, but it's also a really hard question to answer, especially when you're already busy arguing a different and completely unrelated "truth" (furries; they don't suck).

And from a completely practical standpoint, writing a rebuttal to your interview subject explaining how he's a big dummy for having his very personal views he opened up to you about is not exactly a great way to get people lining up for interviews in the Furry World sequel.
