Isn't a factoid something that sounds true but is actually false?
A factoid is basically a junk food proposition, it can be false or it can be true but insignificant. Just like how junk food refers to both foods with a lot of empty calories (and so are unhealthy) as well as ultra-processed foods (which need not be unhealthy, but aren't beneficial either). The individual you're replying to is using the term correctly.
TIL! Thank you.
