Multiple claims are using this claim as evidence. If it's edited to correct the Argument from Authority, it may not work for every claim where it is used as evidence. For instance, if this is edited to explain how Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier's phlogiston experiments debunked phlogiston theory, it will not make sense opposing the claim "April is the cruelest month".

The description is making an argument from authority. It could be edited to correct it, but the tag would remain. In this case, the tag could be deleted, but what happens if the tag still applies but is less applicable than it was, for example, a misleading statement that was edited to be less misleading.
