I think that article addresses a different issue. Obviously we should not treat people with fewer cognitive abilities with contempt or cast them out of our society.

But if you believe that there are such things as truths and falsehoods and that they can positively and negatively shape our society, we cannot ignore the effect that 'fake news' or other misinformation have on large parts of the population.

We can't drop the pursuit of truth just for the sake of satisfying an angry majority. That's going to turn society into a clown-car.
