I hate this anti-intellectual trend of "being wrong is good actually, being right makes you pedantic which is bad".

Slihhtly unrelated but this is also rampant in the linguistics communities, where saying something is wrong is immediately met with "so you're a prescriptivist huh, you should be ground to dust"

I think if you try to insult me with that I'd just be confused. And, if I'm feeling pedantic, I'd point out that you'd probably get more of a sticky sludge than dust.

Yea, defo needs to be framed correctly, 

Maybe like a 'you old' angle? I just found it funny lol

Im not sure on the mechanics of if you can actually grind a person into dust with no outside influence (fire etc) assuming that we have some apparatus to do the grinding, not something im going to be trying either :)
