It's not pedantry. You are disservicing them by limiting (purposefully or not) their understanding to "not more than yours", which clearly, needs work.

yes, it's so true, they can't possibly ever learn anything beyond my simple tweet threads. they are so limited.

Mate, I wish you understood the consequences of this silly dismissiveness. One of which being, you still don't understand the subject at an elementary level. If you want to continue to be "the Pete Evans of monad tutorials", then fine. If not, many of us are happy to help.

I have several mentors who in the FP space. I trust them. And I vet what I learn and say thru them. I suspect in me saying that you'll tear them down as well. I don't know you, except these few tweets. You haven't demonstrated anything that would make me trust your help.

I'm willing to spend a few hours showing you my methods for teaching monad to coworkers, university students and randoms. I'm not sure you're interested in addressing criticisms though.

Same.

do you find that co-workers or other prospective mentees respond well, and lend you their trust, when the first things you say to them about their current work is so condescending and dismissive as "completely wrong", "not even elementary", and "would fail undergrad"?

Yes; they become curious as to why and find it challenging. I'm attempting to give you a scope of your misunderstanding. It's not "just a little bit" or "just pedantry." Not everyone is so defensive or dismissive. Consider, perhaps this is hindering your progress in learning.
