Students need to be heard. If an exceedingly-clever student questions the truthfulness or the accuracy of an accepted answer I believe that it is up to the teacher to hear the student. I rarely got this. In fact, when I corrected my calculus professor from UCSF that bastard ultimately marked my end-of-semester grade as a fucking B (or so I realize having years later requested my transcripts). If I could track that bastard down I would eviscerate him. Teachers are sometimes wrong. The textbooks are sometimes wrong. And what happens when we as a species need to move past dated concepts like the wisdom of Freud or Einstein or Euclid for that matter? How are we to progress with asshats like this and rigid, unmoving systemic blindness rooted in place?
