1a. On the Field Gulls pieces we held up as examples of the problem, "correctness" was the entire idea, both in spirit and letter.
I suggest going over and reading the articles. The title is, "NFL Expansion Is Objectively Wrong." It's not semantics. The author's point is that the NFL is considering doing something wrong.
1b. It might easily be that the current NFL playoffs are preferable. What I object to, is the representation of opinion (or a questionable conclusion) as fact -- which that author most certainly did.

2a. Yes, it's true that sometimes semantics get in the way.
2b. But it is also obvious that many 'net writers are full of intellectual contempt for opposing ideas.

3a. As to my being "disingenuous," I meant my criticism of the Field Gulls articles from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for asking.
3b. If you're going to jump into the community and start a conversation by calling people liars, don't be surprised at the reaction. Do be aware that the problem started with you.
I've got tons and tons of character problems. Insincerity ain't one of 'em. For you to lead off with that is just strange. I wonder what would cause a person to assume that others' problems are grounded in lying.
