Does being pedantic demonstrate rigidity and a lack of flexibility in thinking? Aren’t these, in most cases, symptoms of mental illness?
As a tangential point, as it’s deemed wrong to steal or wrong to kill, does this mean that in every conceivable instance it’s wrong to steal or wrong to kill?
no, there is nothing in a pedantic statement that would lead one to infer that necessarily. what would be more likely is an individual looking for approval. it is unnecessary to word assertions in ways that ur target audience may not understand.
making a pedantic state cannot, alone, lead u to infer a lack of flexability.
