Seeing as this is a discussion board it would be beneficial if we assumed that all posts were from "a certain point of view" unless stated otherwise.
It's a real pain whenever someone chirps in and vents a built up frustration about the perceived haughtiness of a postee based on their non-disclosure of their humble or honest opinion or personal view (IMHO) ;-)
On a discussion board, people will always post both factual statements and opinions, and it does not seem at all beneficial me to treat what sound like factual statements as opinions. I don't see that any "perceived haughtiness" was at work here: what sounded for all the world like a factual statement quite naturally provoked a correction because it was phrased in a categorical way.
