And the contrary view is that the professor has a pronounced responsibility to see past unfortunate framing and phrasing of intricate subject matter details. Both are worthwhile goals, I think.
In my university there's a professor that has an awful attitude towards students when taking exam, outright making them feel stupid (without saying anything, just from gestures and body language)... The plot twist is he does this on purpose. Many times he'll just give a passing grade, but the experience of taking an exam with him is terrible.
Don't get me wrong, I hate how university handles exposition and evaluation of subjects. It encourages exploitation of memorization and test solving techniques instead of focusing on the quality of the subject.
However, life is very rarely optimal or fair. The only effect we can productively have on the world is through how we approach it, instead of focusing energy on how our actions are interpreted. It is unfortunate, but that is the most logical outcome. Focus on yourself, not on others.
