You know, like "always split on 18," or "having kids is the most rewarding thing you can do in life."

What's that one bit of advice you got from a trusted friend that you know deep, deep down would just ruin your thing?

Nah... if someone keeps trying to stick a fork in the light socket or tries to hurt other people, I think its pretty justified to try to change the thinking that leads to that behavior.

If someone doesn't know what a fork and a light socket are and can't otherwise deduce what they are based on context, maybe it makes sense to stick a fork in a light socket.

Once.

Being curious doesn’t some how prevent you from having common sense

The fact that you dont seem to understand why trying to stop someone from "sticking a fork in a light socket" might be a good idea is concerning.

The concerning part is your idiotic assertions

The response is a purposeful obtuse way to make a binary snide comment. These one comment judgments are tired and just not a good way to grade much. Be more creative at least.
