"Not even wrong" is a title of a book about String Theory by Peter Woit.

I've noticed a common tactic in online disinformation campaigns: taking a common term associated with critique of some concept and spamming it in a different (sometimes opposite) context, to break the semantic link.

Not even wrong is a quip attributed to Wolfgang Pauli. This is where Woit got his blog and book title from:
