I don't think it's really about pontificating about why, just why, other people who aren't me are stupid, it's about identifying patterns and maybe coming up with a way (like you are talking about) to combat (possibly involving teaching) these things. Without putting it into words you just see the pedantic correction fucking up your conversation and don't really have words or a coherent understanding in the moment to get why it was a useless thing to say. Now with this article some people will know to identify those situations to correct them, and some people will identify the behavior in themselves. That's all good, and isn't "ugh dumb people exist"
