There's more to it than that.

Gorsuch mixing up nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide over and over is a recent fun example. The court also has engaged in fact finding despite the rules. Kennedy v Bremerton is one example. Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP is another.

You also see absolute garbage lies. FEC v. Ted Cruz for Senate has the majority saying "we can't find examples of X happening" while the dissent has a big list of examples of X happening. Or just straight up falsehoods about original understanding. DC v. Heller is a great example of this.
