Remember when they said, "wow some random strangers on the internet has changed my mind about x. thanks!"Me neither. Most of the time the convo will only turn rage-bait-y and ruin everyone's day.

Correcting such is a task at least an order of magnitude bigger than the problem

@evacide Taken me several decades to (mostly) work that out of my system (and various other things too.) Wish I'd been quicker about it but happy that I eventually (mostly) got here. -

@evacide In extreme cases I type out what I think of any “wrongness” then delete the draft.

But what if they think they are right, but they are wrong.
Maybe you can change their mind with just a little bit of information.
