>>The point is what's perfectly acceptable (correct) should not be considered wrong if one does not agree.
That is an interesting observation.
Of course its internally inconsistent.
Your point is that What is correct should not be considered incorrect if you don't agree that it is correct.
As a statement that there is a universal truth and your opinion of the truth can not alter it that is a correct statement.
But if you mean that when a person believes something to be wrong he should not call it wrong because other people may believe it is right then you are wrong.
Obviously I believe my beliefs to be correct, If I did not do so then they wouldn't be my beliefs. If the truth of my belief is mutually exclusive with the truith of your belief, then I must belive your belief to be wrong. Thus if I believe it is incorrect to refer to a casino chip as a "token" then I must believe that all those who believe that it is correct to refer to a casino chip as a "token" are in fact wrong.
There is nothing wrong with believing that others are wrong. One of my biggest complaints about our politically correct society is that somewhere we decided that believing and feeling something can make them true.
