That's not how American courts work?

Nope. The court of appeals can find fault with the methods, procedure, precedent etc but not the facts.

(Also, that's not how question marks work.)

But here's the thing: they could easily say the method that led to the finding is wrong. It's not a fact.

If it's decided by the lower court it is held as fact. It may not in your opinion be correct but it is verifiably a fact at this point.
