Sounds about right, my generation di not want to be accused of being pedants so we (or our previous generation) made up a new word. Meaning of pendantic stays the same "Not trying to be an asshole but, making a point here!"

PS

This whole discussion goes to the heart of my post. I am not trying to be an asshole, just telling someone that they ain't helping the discussion!

absolutely nothing because it is not a word. This was
also the first time I had heard of pedantic.

Here is an interesting read on it from:
