(If you decide to set up your own IFTTT rule for Twitter or anywhere else, my personal opinion is that it’s better to avoid jumping into random conversations with strangers, especially if your goal is to “correct” a criticism they made. It won’t work.)
Depending on the context, there could be many more people reading the conversation than the person who had the misconception. (IIRC, research into lurker:participant ratios in online conversations often comes up with numbers like 10:1 or 100:1.) If the misconception goes uncorrected then many more people could acquire it. I think correcting misconceptions online can be a really good use of time.
