no..
Polemic = A controversial argument, especially one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine; a person engaged in or inclined to controversy, argument, or refutation.
Pedantic = bookish
so "polemic" as a word is more "perturbing" or "provoking".

Preposterously portentously paradigmatically presciently pedantic ..... but not didactic.

It depends on what you're trying to say, both are actual words. You've spelled them correctly so you can look them up.

I think maybe you are a little too concerned with details. ;)

Depending on context, it may well be. (I think Zippy nailed it.)
