I see your argument and I agree, but I just believe that with these talented/intelligent/passionate (valuable imo) people it’s better to dedicate their limited valuable time to things they exceed at, not time for them to “correct” their sometimes ignorant opinions. We can ignore their ignorance, we can’t replace their value.
When getting people to “correct” their opinions, my opinion is that they’re far more likely to learn to mask their opinions, having to be constantly conscious of how others will respond to what they’re saying and reducing their work throughput in the process.
People will always have “ignorant” ideas, if you want to correct all of their ignorance you either have a person that limits the growth of their ideas through simply assuming that the truth is true (and not exploring it further), or you have a person that comprehends everything in the world. (i kinda want to draw a diagram to explain this but don’t have the time now)
It can only be corrected if the person actually starts believing that the “correct” idea is actually correct. That’s way harder than for them to simply pretend like they believe the “correct” idea, which they’ll obviously do first. Isn’t that a waste of time?

Poor behavior can be corrected. Ignoring bigotry and letting it slide hurts others. That’s not acceptable
