Calling someone wrong, in the extreme sense, could be taken as an insult. Whereas when calling an idea wrong, the scope of negativity is limited to that idea. Even better is to focus only on the right, and minimize the time spent on the wrong.

I’m uncomfortable with this notion that we should always tiptoe around people no matter what

Not tiptoe around people. Address their misconceptions efficiently without insulting them.
