Walberg did not tell them that the story was untrue, or it was just a parable (using real historical people's names) which means either Walberg did not know, or did not care. Earlier in his keynote, Tim Walberg did say this, and I agree with every bit part of this: "A leader is a person of truth. A leader doesn’t simply tell the truth, that’s easy, but they live by the truth. Even when it cramps our style. And yet, that standard of truth never changes. That gives a leader the power of consistency. Never forget, that if it isn’t founded on truth, it won’t succeed. This notion that there is your truth and my truth is absurd. Tell that to gravity!” (see video: 51:30 mark)
