No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.

That’s the joke, though.

The character being quoted, from Futurama, is usually insufferable and often miserable.

Edit: Interestingly, the character is also relatively well liked and generally appreciated by the rest of the Planet Express crew. It’s a pretty nuanced quote, in context. It kind of says “You’re not wrong, and your correction is arguably unnecessary and objectively objectionable, but we love you, anyway.”

I mean, in the example you’re responding to, many of the people aren’t doing the “technically correct” answer of, “microbial life will continue”.

They’re just morons who heard, “life finds a way” and assume humans will be fine.
