Is it out of line to correct somebody who you know is wrong in your answer? For example, say the question is "should I keep my pony?" and another person replies "no because a pony is a baby horse so you won't go as far on him", is it out of line to say "Actually, a pony is just a horse who is under 14.2 hh" blah, blah, blah?
It depends on a lot of things, but here's the basic rule. If you can correct someone while sounding helpful and informative rather than down-grading or holier-than-thou, than by all means do so.
Obviously, there are some situations where this won't apply such as an overheard conversation (like in the mall), during a lecture or class (take the lecturer/teacher aside afterwards and voice your concerns about the incorrect information), or other similar situations that may arise. Obviously, use common sense.
Your example is really funny, since I was just arguing with some friends about horses vs. ponies yesterday.
