Either way none of the above equates to truth, which requires actual facts and evidence to back up claims.
So the fact that facts and evidence can be covered up, hidden,
lied about and deflected as "Conspiracy theory" or even ignored.
Changes the truth?
Please tell me how this works for anyone but those hiding the
truth?
And the truth has never been a claim. That's why it's called "The truth and nothing but the truth"

In my reading of the discussion, nobody here is trying to advance a cause. Yes, much of the discussion has revolved around defining terms, but why is that a bad thing? If the discussion will mean anything at all, shouldn’t we strive for consensus?

Everyone knows exactly what you are talking about, but they are choosing to play a literal definition game to slide the thread for the "Cause".
For those being deliberately obtuse or with an agenda, the label "misinformation" has been applied heavily and often to anything that goes against the official narrative. That is the misinformation referred to -- labeling truth as misinformation to bury it. Put your dictionaries away.

Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information.
It differs from disinformation, which is deliberately deceptive and propagated information which is possibly what you mean.

I see it as the Zeitgeist of Stupidity.
Best example: "What is a woman".
I am not in favor of discarding the meaning of words just because some are not educated. It is, in a way, like saying math is cruel because not everyone is good in it.
