Debate: Should we tell the customer they're wrong or just let them walk away happy?

Should we tell the customer they're wrong or just let them walk away happy" is a false choice in my experience. People act like you have to pick one or the other, but really it's about how you say it. I notice this pattern everywhere now, like when someone at a restaurant insists their steak is well done when it's clearly medium. You can either call them out or just nod and move on, but there's always a third option where you make them feel heard while gently steering them right. Most people just want to feel respected, not to be proven wrong.

Reminds me of when my friend tried to argue with a barista about whether his latte was actually a cappuccino.
