Anything can be disputed. You say your name is John? I don’t know if that’s true. Now your claim is disputed by me, even if I am just being a retard. It’s just that simple.
Twitter uses the word "disputed" instead of "debunked" because disputed is meaningless, and can’t be used in a libel case. Yet, to the masses, they see it as synonymous with "debunked."
I can "dispute" your existence and credibility, asserting that you might be a bot or a figment of my imagination, doesn't mean I've conclusively disproved you wrote the post above and proven you to have never existed.
