This seems to me possibly one or all of the following:-
1) Someone imposing their values by way of teaching.
2) Someone imposing their values by way of not engaging the actual problem
(in general terms, ' If God Has All-Power, Has He Power To Make Himself Not
All-Powerful Or Not'? - the answer seems paradoxical whichever) - there is no
answer to Peter's reply.
3) Peter's pedantic memory for when a grader had his work "crossed out".
Ahh..
