I have always suspected that correctness, is the refuse of those who have
nothing to offer.


Did you maybe mean "refuge?"



Maybe, but 'refuse' works, too. It can be used as a noun - it means
trash, garbage, that-which-is-discarded. Those who have nothing to
offer throw correctness on the junk heap. Awkward construction, but
it works.

In a backfiring sort of way, I suspect. :-D


Yes, you are a good example.
