Except that everything in that question pointed to the other answer, including the text book's own answer key. They weren't attempting to make a point in good faith--they were refusing to admit they'd made a mistake, and doubling down when they were challenged.

For people like that, admitting you're wrong is practically immoral, and challenging someone "above" you is abhorrent. Beurocracy and process trump factual correctness.

Yeah I missed the part about the answer key, I thought they were using their own exam questions. It's even worse.
