To put it differently, 'correction' (actually reply) may be used not only to correct allegedly incorrect factual assertions in the piece of writing which hurt the person in question, but to dispute all assertions, even if presented merely as opinions (for example, that somebody's management of a company was bad), by making use of factual assertions (not simply by stating the opposite). However, the disputing of factual assertions is not the same as the correction of asserted facts (for example, even though the information about some failed investment has been correct in itself, the affected party disputes its significance by citing profitable investments that were omitted from the article, or by giving figures proving that the balance at the end of the year was positive, and so on).
Preizadeti torej lahko v 'popravku' (v resnici: odgovoru) ne le popravlja morebitne napačne dejstvene navedbe v informaciji, ki ga je prizadela, ampak lahko, prvič, spodbija vse navedbe, tudi zgolj mnenjske navedbe, ki so ga prizadele (recimo, da je slabo vodil podjetje), seveda le z dejstvenimi navedbami (ne zgolj z nasprotnim zatrjevanjem, da je dobro vodil podjetje), in drugič, tudi spodbijanje morebitnih dejstvenih navedb ni isto kot popravljanje objavljenih dejstev (primer: podatek o neki zgrešeni naložbi je bil točen, toda prizadeti spodbija njegov pomen z navajanjem v prispevku zamolčanih uspešnih naložb, z navajanjem številk o pozitivnem končnem letnem uspehu ipd.).
