My thoughts have been similar to RHB's, but I focused on a different part of that quote. Namely: "Aino elah toeh -- he is merely mistaken." It does not say that such a person is *wrong*. One who says David sinned is *not* wrong, but he *is* mistaken.

In other words, one who says such a thing is making a mistake. There are several possibilities what that mistake is. Perhaps the mistake is that he shouldn't say such a thing, even if it is true. Or maybe is it somewhat true, but not to the extent that this person is making it out to be. In any case, the person is making a mistake, but he's not flat-out wrong.
