I had a teacher confidently tell the class that Mt. Everest didn’t border China (well Tibet really, but that’s a battle for another day). I will say she was able to concede she was mistaken. I had another teacher hit on me when I was in high school while I was alone with her in the copy room. I had always heard some salacious rumors about her, but I always assumed they were just idle gossip until that day. That was a different kind of wrong. And no, I didn’t take her up on the advance.
I’m assuming English isn’t your first language, so just as an FYI, wrongest isn’t a word. “Most false” is probably the best fit in this instance. Just one of those weird quirks of this bastard language.

You're right, it's my second language. My first/native language actually doesn't have official spelling rules, so yeah, it's a handful.

Hey, OP, they're wrong. Not the wrongest they could have been, but it is indeed a word. A quick check with any online dictionary will confirm that.
It might be considered poor style to use it in educated language, where "most wrong", "most incorrect" or "most false" might be better choices, which is probably the context they were thinking of, but it's definitely a word and people do use it.

Wrongest might be poor style, but it is funner.

Wrongest seems rightest in this case. The case of fun.
