A bit of an exaggeration, sure. But only a bit. The lay summary of the article I referenced states the following:
Venkataraman et al. find that the paper commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper: leaving out important papers, including irrelevant papers, using duplicate papers, mis-coding their societies, getting the wrong values for “big” versus “small” game, and many others.
“commits every error that it was possible to make in the paper,” and, “completely incorrect,” aren’t very different.
This study this meme is based on is completely incorrect and should be retracted. Here’s a lay summary of its issues:

To say it’s “completely incorrect” is an exaggeration at best. The paper you cited is far more nuanced than that.
