#2It’s quite surprising how little verification went into the original claim that it was a falcon 9 before the outpouring of standard anti-Elon driven outrage.

What is surprising is that in 2022 people believe everything that they read.

It’s surprising, as GP said, how little verification was made by news outlets. Chastising people for believing “everything” simply because they believed this is a different matter. Especially when otherwise reputable sources such as ESA post the information.

"In a sense, this remains "circumstantial" evidence. But I would regard it as fairly convincing evidence."
"It's unclear when the Chang'e 5-T1 booster would have gone by the moon,"

I didn't participate in any outrage (actually, I'm behind here, this post was the first I'd heard of this story), but this seems like a particularly uncharitable take.
The story came from an otherwise-reputable source that made a mistake. Your average person (including even most space enthusiasts) doesn't have the knowledge and expertise to check it themselves other than seeing what other astronomers have to say, and the commentary I could find prior to the discovery of the mistake was in agreement.
