Yes, quite right.  When people try to distort a position or turn it into a gross inverse caricature of itself, they aren't quite operating truthfully.  They're simply letting pride snuff their charity.

And so every Christian is called to make corrections, with perhaps a high-minded, oblique approach, letting the other person come to a conclusion all on their own!  

Often they resist, and go even more south.  And with that Christians are called to discernment and sometimes abaondonment, but with a parting quiet prayer, maybe a Memorare.
