I imagine that's not a very taxing thing to do.

I find that with really dense people, there is no point in alerting them
to their errors. For example, you make mistakes here all the time
(universal rules for music, for example) and when called on it, just
ignore it. I say no point, of course, but that doesn't mean it isn't
fun! :)

If I heard an English professor say "English is a grammarless language"
then I would assume that he was well aware that English has a grammar,
and that he was making a subtler point that it might be interesting to
elucidate, and thereby actually learn something, rather than just nurse
my fantasies of superiority

What do you think of those who consider you sometimes right, and
sometimes wrong?
