Da Vinci Code's claim: "the facts are accurate...."

Honestly, I haven't read the Da Vinci Code. Don't plan to.
Check me on this, but here's what I understand the author states in the preface pages:

"All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate." Dan Brown

Now, so far, I've run into many articles, podcasts and books that state in excruciating detail why Dan's claim is...well, not a fact.
I have no problem with someone writing a fictional page turner about Jesus (...think Ann Rice...), but...why try to claim that your fictional book is based on proven fact when it's so obviously not? For that, I'm taking a pass on the book and movie.

What do you believe?
