    Right and wrong are forms of judgement, subject to debate, and sources of resentment.

    Correct and incorrect are at least possibly quantifiable and do not intrinsically involve subjectivity.

    In other words, my being incorrect is something others can help me to understand and rectify. My being "wrong" is a position which can yield second order harm.
