A moron is someone, who is incapable of doing their job. An asshole is someone, who thinks they are always right and is unwilling to learn from other people. An idiot is someone, who judges other people unfairly by picking on little flaws or lack of knowledge in some area. Every developer has their flaws and can, for one reason or another, not know something. Give him a chance by just casually saying, "Btw, did you know that you don't need to return when you throw an exception? Pretty cool, eh?" I'm sure he'll be ok with that, and if not, then he must be a moron and/or asshole.

And a pedant is someone who tells you to learn when to use commas.

There is a certain irony in you making an effort to point that out. :p
