I contributed a contrasting view.
I provoked an unscripted discussion of an idea that had (at least on the surface) some logical merit to it. I demonstrated that at least one of his students (and after that, a few of us) was actively engaged in listening rather than just taking notes, and thinking about what was said. I unexpectedly gave the rest of the class something to think about.

In truth, good teachers love it when that happens. I'm married to a professor, her father is a professor, and my sister is a teacher married to a professor. They all tell stories of having these unexpected interactions and how they love it.
