A lifetime ago on another web forum, one devoted to words and their usage, one EXTREMELY erudite member described himself as a "precisian". When I asked him why he used that word rather than "pedant", he said that it was because the word "pedant" carried connotations of one who thought themselves right but who were very often wrong in that assumption.

I am reminded of that useful distinction pretty much every day here at MR.
