I think elitism is valuable in that it helps prevent this error (amongst other reasons). I despise false humility from the highly intelligent in this pro egalitarian age.
I think I disagree, but I'm not sure what elitism means here.

Yes. For any method of correcting an error, there's always a possibility of overcorrecting.
