No, we're talking about whether "Guernica" is still a valid anti-war statement now that we know Picasso was such a dick.
I’m not sure that makes sense though. You can be right and wrong about different things. Being right isn’t a universal state (although I understand the equivalency, Crichton saying the papers are full of shit while also denying climate change).
But I’m biased because I do agree with the newspaper thing to a degree - even if that’s fading with age and I’m sceptical about pretty much everything I read unless it properly cites evidence to support its arguments.
It’s funny though, I wonder why I’m comfortable to just write Crichton off as a whack job (despite the obvious dangers of what he was espousing).
