"Contradictory" presumes that a given property is Boolean and thus if it isn't one value, it must be the other.
Very few useful properties outside of the artificial worlds of logic and computing are Boolean. Most properties we are trying to design systems for out in the real world continuously varying and often multi-dimensional.
That's why optimizing them requires difficult trade-offs.
I think disinformation is not as a significant problem as it is often made out to be. It would not need immediate attention. It is the individual decision of some people to listen to it. Many of them know better, but they have a conflict with those that want to set themselves up to discern truth and wrong.
Especially with topics like the pandemic I see no authority that could help here and maybe that isn't so bad in the grand scheme of things.
