Just take the correction, apologize, and move on; there's no utility for trying to "win" the conversation and as others pointed out you really took it more personally than needed. Knowing how to be graceful will spare you a l

Paperwork and accounting -- it's way easier to just allocate a general slush fund of Amazon GCs or pre-loaded VISA cards than it is to get everyone to fill 1099s, pay accountants and what not just to pay people a few hundred dollars.
