He says students should never challenge their lecturers. I say, "bollocks"!
Interestingly enough, T-wife just had a hard-earned life-lesson about this in Calc III... Having pointed out, in the university discussion board, that this instructor was both incorrect in her answer and used the wrong method to solve an equation, she was rather full of herself. Then she started losing big points on exams for small things, and had to work her ass off to keep a B.

I have been biting back 'I told you so's' for several months.

Like I told you, B, it's really not necessary to correct every obvious stupidity you observe...
