Sometimes, when they describe what the song says it is so far from what I thought it was saying to me, but that doesn't mean their opinion is wrong.
Ah yes, thank you for mentioning this. I had not thought of subjective things like that, where there is no right or wrong. And even if there is (you can sometimes find out what the artist meant by analyzing the work very closely), I agree that happy people do not need to be corrected when they are wrong, as long as it doesn't hurt others. (But in some cases being right may make them even more happy. Life is complex.)
I was mostly thinking about politics and religion. People's opinions about those subjects normally influence their behavior, so being wrong can hurt other people. For that reason, I like them to be right. But as I wrote, that's only secondary. My main reason is that I know I prefer being right about things, and I like it when others help me get there. I'm doing that service to others with pleasure.
Again, this has nothing to do with art for me. If people enjoy art, I couldn't care less if their idea doesn't match that of the artist.

Where have I seen that before? I think I know someone else who has that tendency.
