I can see the psychology behind what you're saying, but context might matter for that? When I worked recording audiobooks (contracting for the Library of Congress) we were obligated to get the pronunciations correct, per specific sources, and I don't think the narrators were backing away from the words they had to do corrections on. Some of that might have been that those weren't words they were choosing, some of that might have been the way we engineers were trained to do the corrections (stop recording at end of sentence; "Are you sure about [word]?").
Average people. I think if you were doing it professionally that would be a different matter. I know engineers have a reputation for being brusk about corrections, though it is also to do it and get it done with. Any correction is an attack, another brick in the wall.
Yeah, no real arguments. Being told that, for instance, the only pronunciation of "pedophile" or its derivatives we can use has a long e in the first syllable doesn't feel so much like an attack, in the sort of professional context I was in. Especially when there's "I've never heard this word before" involved.
