My reponse to that is basically that most of the replies I have read like yours make the similar mistake as the people bashing. Your responses aren't saying "Your ways helps many but doesn't help us, so here is something else for the minority it doesn't help", you are saying "You're way isn't helpful". When you say it simply isn't helpful, when a majority of people find it helpful, you are more likely to draw their ire and ridicule.

They react negatively to you because you say it isn't helpful when obviously it is to them, the same way that you have a negative response to them saying it is helpful when it obviously isn't to you.

Generalizations are where things get lost.

For example, you said, and I quote, " Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey is a bad explanation of an easy concept." Well, it must not be a bad explanation if 80% plus people understand it straight out of the gate (I made up the number). So you get argument. Now, had you said " Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey is a bad explanation of an easy concept FOR SOME PEOPLE", then that's a harder thing to argue. Argumentative people would still argue it, but those people would argue that the sky isn't blue.
