Often at school you are askjed to present a simplified arguement, because that's what's on the course, to give a simplified (read: wrong) answer. Giving the right answer a) fails exams b) upsets the teachers who often don't understand that you're right (have I ever got into trouble in school? Yes. Knowing more than the teacher is something that has to be managed carefully, otherwise it upsets the teacher).
