This would "solve" or "prove" about as much as an African American walking up to a White Supremist and telling him to his face that he is prejudice. Your words don't have to be incorrect to find yourself in the hospital, or worse.
In the U.S. everyone has a right to their opinions as guaranteed in our Constitution. The Constitution doesn't say they have to be right. It also doesn't say that just because you can beat someone up means you are more right than they are.
I believe there is another quote useful to this widely-divergent thread: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it."
I know it was Voltaire. Don't know if I got it perfectly correct.
