The hardest part about refuting Y2K disinfo is how many problems were fixed quietly, in part to mitigate risk of ligitation (negligence, etc.). People have stories they can't tell.
At this point, I think enough years have passed that a formal amnesty - to encourage companies to disclose just how bad some of the problems were - would be in our historical best interest.

we started y2k fixes on systems in the early 90s. At least we did on my systems. All those people using 2char years either moved over to systems with real(better) date support. Or kludged together fixes that hopefully will hold to whatever arbitrary split date they used.
I saw labs of data loggers opened to check the version on the PROMs while they were all the same part externally half of them would fail come Y2K.
Many of the big ERP projects of the late 90s were y2k fixes
