Never tell your boss they are wrong.  Never.

What you need to do is make them think they have found out for themselves, and give them a way to change their mind without losing face.   A good way to do this is with "new" information.  This can be real new information, or a new analysis of existing information, or old information dressed up in a different way, or irrelevant information made to look like it is relevant, or whatever you can think of.
