Being accurate with words isn’t being pedantic. There was an opportunity to teach, I took it. That’s it. Perhaps you got that impression because text doesn’t convey intent very well. That’s alright

I am exponentially more experienced at swimming than the average person.
I’m actually a pretty average swimmer, so in this case the exponent is zero.
Yeah I was going to make a pithy joke about my job, but note that having any skill in a field that’s at all niche puts you well above the average.
This is my biggest pet peeve. One data point can’t be exponentially more than one other data point without context.
If people still want to sound “smart” because they used a fancy math word, you can say “orders of magnitude more experienced.”
