when is "having being" correct? it is against the grammar. How can you use have + doing sth?
Being is almost always incorrect because it is considered wordy than its infinitive form, but it can be used to modify a sentence correctly.
e.g.:
He eats every day, making sure he is not starving.
IMO, I just take their advice with a pinch of salt. it really depends on the sentence and context.
