So if I write "Joe Bloggs holds the clearly false view that the Earth 
is flat" I'm violating NPOV? No I'm not, because in that case it 
really is clearly false - though it could do with being rewritten for 
a more sympathetic, encyclopedic style. But NPOV isn't the problem 
there.

In order to show that William Connolley's edit is POV, you have to 
show that the claim he says is "clearly false" is in fact a serious 
point of contention in the relevant field.

NPOV is only an issue for claims that are not yet proven or disproven 
to the satisfaction of the vast majority of the relevant experts. 
You'll have to show that what William says is in fact in a serious 
state of dispute in the field. It may or may not be. You've provided 
no evidence on the matter.

Cheers,
