This is what the scientific american blog says about it

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/adam-ruins-everything-shows-us-the-right-way-to-be-wrong/

Today many people are wrong about important facts, and they need to be corrected. But they need to be corrected in a manner that leads to acceptance, not resistance. This is a hard task we all need help with.

the person who is corrected actually changes. While so many other shows in modern times demonize and make fun of those who are wrong, this show makes those who are wrong the positive protagonists of the story.

the show as a whole is a thesis statement on the process of learning. In this way, the show can teach us all how to better correct others, whether we are scientists, activists, or someone just having Thanksgiving dinner with the family.

In early 2018, Adam Ruins Everything devoted an entire episode to correcting itself.
