This is all called being pedantic. The idea was sound, and, let's be honest, unless you are completely obtuse (and, just to be clear, I don't think you are), I can guess that you understood what he was trying to say. But, you still had to provide a correction.
It's not you. You aren't the only one to do it here. By our very nature, hackers can be very pedantic.
Next time you read an article, and you have the sudden urge to say "Actually..." to correct a single thing, spend a moment to make sure you understand the context. What's the real idea?
Not everyone is going to be an excellent writer. Let's focus on the message, not the poor choice of words. =)
