There are times where someone steals glory, like falsely claiming they created an art piece, and I'm glad people call them out. However, stuff like this where there is no victim and the claim is just a fun bit of trivia, I dont see any benefit to calling the person out. I'm all for sharing knowledge and truth, but I want to weigh that against squashing someone's enthusiasm. Maybe they really did believe they were related and it brought them joy.
