Yes, you did. If you had simply said 'Batz, plants have walls, animals have membranes you idiot!' I would have remembered that simple fact and changed it. Instead, you decided to get all explainy why. Here, let me be pedantic!
This is the Merriam-Webster definition:
Definition of pedant
1a: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge
b: one who makes a show of knowledge
Now, wasn't that fun to learn?
No, I didn't think so either. Do not assume that the person you're correcting has no idea what you're talking about. Maybe they actually made a mistake and when being reminded of it will go, 'Oh yeah! That's right!', but pedantic explanations piss me off.
