This trait is annoying and is seldom, if never, rewarded in our society.

The best teacher I ever had would ask a question, we would answer, he would say "correct" or "incorrect", and then throw whatever was close at hand at us when we were incorrect. I hated that professor with every thread of my being. Until the day he died and I was at his funeral and realized that he taught me more than any other professor during my whole life.

In other words a quick one worded reply might on the surface bruise some weak self-esteemed individuals, but in essence it is really just reversing the question back upon the one who asked.

..."Incorrrect....grasshopper, go and find out why....try the search function".
