In the first dictionary I consulted, definitions 1 and 2 are:  (1) 
incapable of being justified or explained; (2) without a basis in 
reason or fact.  Take your pick.

Saying that something is an "unwarranted overstatement"  =  personal 
denigration?  You've GOT to be kidding.  Grow up.

And, for the record, you did not simply "politely state" the 
inaccurate information -- you declaimed it as if it was 
uncontrovertible knowledge directly from the lips of god (complete 
with SHOUTING).

Best regards,

Don
