That's not entirely true, non-fiction books are expected to go through a certian amount of fact checking before publication. Wildly innacurate info can result in the contract being rescinded (and would be written into the contract).
If The Bell Curve and Liberal Fascism could get published, any piece of inaccurate crap can get published. At worst, the authors would just move from Penguin to a less prestigious but more ideologically congenial publishing house.
