I think Ardis may be of a certain class of disinfo agents.
That is, if "They" can't convince you of their lies, then they'll take keeping you away from the truth. To that end, they find someone who is honest but incorrect and promote him in various (probably clandestine) ways. Some people will then buy into the error, but in any case the waters are further muddied and that's never a bad thing.
Someone who honest but in error will ultimately fall to someone with the correct information. (We also see that once attached to an idea, people have an extremely hard time letting go, and that's a lesson for all of us.) Pure disinfo agents either dodge around, devolve into sophistry, or go with the old standby: unhinged personal attacks.
