Yea, it's just that pedants deep down believe that good grammar is good writing; they don't understand the difference. Therefore, they're going to struggle to recognize good writing, and be incapable of producing it.

    It doesn't take a chef to spot a bad meal.

    No- but since a good "meal" is subjective to the person eating it, one person calling it a bad meal is not a good metric to base your opinion on.

    If the meal has seasonings you don't like, or is missing components you do like (grammar, in this case)- it doesn't make the meal bad. It just means it isn't for you, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    Missing grammar is the wrong grammar. And that's more akin to a spoiled component.

    You literally just started your sentence with a conjunction. At the very least practice what you preach.
