The errors of others, or the errors of those of superior social ranking? Do Korean teachers refrain from correcting students?
No, students get hit with rulers for mistakes. I think it's that you don't correct your social superiors, and (but I'm not as sure) you don't correct those at your social level.
Does that cause them to attempt to create as many distinct social strata as possible?
