Not to correct orther people if it’s not absolutely necessary or being asked to.
ie, I would correct someone who said “drinking bleach can cure covid”. But I wouldn’t if they said “the earth is flat”.
Decade ago, a friend of a friend was building a computer. I suggest they get a SSD for the OS. They said SSDs are a scam and don’t have any advantages over HDDs, and the durability is worse. So I’m like “alright, it’s your money” and stop involved with the matter.
None of your examples would make me think you would be a “know it all” by responding to such idiotic opinions. That would depend on how you challenged the dumb thing they just said
"Oh? Why’s that? " (Said genuinely asking why they hold that opinion) is a perfectly fine response to that kind of idiocy.
