You could be right. It's a common tactic for adversaries to sabotage their enemies from within by inducing them to waste time and distract themselves with fruitless rabbit holes. Enemies want their adversaries to entertain themselves into irrelevant oblivion. They want to sidetrack a movement and also to discredit a movement by making it appear that falsifiable assertions sprout organically from within a movement (e.g., posting a misleading or false claim so that outsiders will think "Look at these rubes! They'll believe anything!").
