No? If there’s a false view that Bob and Carol both hold, and you claim it was knowably false at the time, it seems pretty reasonable to complain about Carol holding the view, regardless of what Bob thought?
It would be unfair to let Bob off the hook and only complain about Carol. But if you happen to know Carol better than Bob, then it’s pretty reasonable to mostly focus on talking to and about Bob?
