Tone IS important.

Yes, but failure in choosing more pleasant tone is not fatal, it can be, eh, possibly endured, while pretending that a mistake is not a mistake certainly poisons everything in the conversation after it.

"Normie" is an insult for those who say or behave the way implying that you yourself are not normal. It's not as if it was hard to find people matching the criterion.

And frankly for socialization people dance, tell anecdotes and do other similar things. In an argument correctness is the goal.
