I wouldn’t even try to defend OP, but I once heard someone say that if you have more than four apples, then it is also definitely true that you have four apples.
OP treating his statement as a correction requires that he’s not using this interpretation. If he were to use this defense, so could the teacher, so he’d just be changing how he’s wrong, not that he is.
As a teacher, this type of response is a great jumping off point for the discussion of curriculum vs truth, what is the extent of reality vs what is going to be on the assignment / exam etc.
It’s also a great way to stick it to the know-it-all who is trying to undermine my credibility, and has the added bonus of perking up the rest of the class.
Because if we weren’t then no class would ever learn anything, as the teaching would move at a glacial pace and cover material that isn’t relevant until you start on your PhD.
pretty sure theres more than 4.

This is the ‘senses’ argument, or the ‘moons of Jupiter’ argument.

Edit: Whoops, someone already commented that elsewhere in the thread. Oh well.
Thanks to Lemmy’s Hot algorithm though, we see your joke first!
It’s only a matter of opinion.
Holy butt munch Batman! Why are we taught lies!?
