re: Do you always correct people when you know they are wrong about something?

Depends on how wrong they are and in the situation. One on one convo, in your case I would definitely correct him because 10 miles is ridiculous.
The other day someone told me 1 in 12 babies born to women over 35 have down syndrome. Sounded way high to me so I called him out, we looked it up and it was 1 in 350. People gotta have common sense when they start throwing out facts

This was my dilemma. 10 miles is just way off and it almost seemed like the decent thing to do so he wouldn't go around claiming that in front of others. However, I didn't want to make him feel silly for being so incredibly off. And the US isn't using SKS's in Afghanistan.
I opted not to correct him after my initial hint at him being mistaken had fallen on deaf ears. But it reminded me of the tug of war I always have with myself in similar situations.
