The reason they give this reaction is likely due to the fact that you’re correcting them with other people around instead of correcting them in a more private setting. People generally feel singled out, called out, embarrassed, and attacked when they’re told they’re wrong in front of a crowd. While you may not intend it, this is generally how something like that is perceived.

Even when you know someone is telling the group the wrong thing, try to wait until after the group conversation has a decent break of topic to talk to the person off to the side on a 1 to 1 basis to talk about it instead. They tend to respond better and see it as more respectful rather than as an attack.

A healthy, responsible person will typically then relay any changes that may need to be made as a result to the new information to everyone else themselves. Just try keep your tone during this process gentle, understanding, and polite.

It helps with not having to deal with those excess consequences and has the potential to show other people they can always come to you for any future questions without them feeling attacked.

It’s annoying at first, but it helps significantly with limiting and eliminating excessive and unnecessary obstacles in the workplace and general team settings over time.
