"I don't expect you to come to me and say 'Schwartz, Schwartz, I shouldn't have gotten an 89.6 on that; you need to take off points!' No. Don't do that." "Clearly, everything your teachers tell you must be absolutely accurate!" "We don't need to prove that we don't know anything. We can just not know things. ... It's okay to not know things."
