A whole lot better than going out your way to influence what they do if they didn't even ask for a second opinion.
The entire premise of this thread is basically "Since this says this that means should we all do this now?"
^ the answer is quite simply, no. You don't have to change your entire character.
In RP your character doesn't know they're being controlled by somebody behind the screen. The world they know is only as vast as what knowledge they possess IC. So yes, if someone's gonna talk about how such and such us a DRG IC when only 10 or whatever are left, that person questioning it better be toting a roster with names in it or be a DRG themself with a good reason on why the other person can't be a DRG.
You're missing the idea of enjoyment in a shared space. People like having everyone under a shared umbrella; that's why we pay attention to any amount of lore (and argue over it) in the first place. Some people want everyone to follow the lore, and some people want everyone to be accepting  (which, yes, is a collective umbrella on its own).
Neither argumentative camp is "better" because they are advocating for the same thing: bringing other people into their line of thinking. Neither is provably more "correct" or less "damaging."
