Somebody who is mistaken is not intentionally so. When that person passes on information, they are not trying to mislead someone because they honestly believe they are telling the truth.

In todays world, most people consider somthing true a fact. Which ironically is of course a false fact. I see alot of legal people will state somthing untrue with "false factual statement." I would add a "'s" if the person was a total believer in false facts. Also here is a excerpt from synonym.com: "delusive, false -- (inappropriate to reality or facts; "delusive faith in a wonder drug"; "delusive expectations"; "false hopes")" So it could work as in: "He delusively chose A." ~Ari I'm not that smart, but I might be right.
