Recently during code review, my direct supervisor wrote a comment requesting a change on some code I submitted. Normally, that is not a problem (and I understand that is the very point of code reviews), but it turns out that his concern is based on incorrect information.
More specifically, he raised concerns over a certain language feature, and explained why that could be an issue - except that, in fact, the language does not work as he explained. This is supported by language documentation.
My question, then, is how do I explain to him (if at all) that his idea of how the language works is incorrect? Being at least one or two decades junior to him, I don't want to come off as arrogant. I would normally have no problem with sucking it up and making the change (it's as easy as deleting a comma) - but I also feel like that goes against the spirit of a code review.
Not a duplicate of How do I tell a coworker he's wrong?, since this is specifically about telling your seniors they are wrong.

If you have a process for rejecting comments made during code review, just follow that.

@LaconicDroid We do not - as I understand it, code reviews go through a process but are somewhat informal at the office.
