The verb used for a professor when he quickly dismisses a students logical arguemnet against what the professor is saying. He may use a arguemnet not associated with critical thinking, or a valid statement with no chance of rebuttal by the student.
The professor was profissing when he said it was ok to use tap water as contact lense solution. I stated this is false because you can lose your eye sight to infection or amoeba. He replied only 6 people in the United States lost their eyesight last year because of this, so the chances are low. He quickly went back to his lecture and didnt call on me when i reaised my hand to reply. My reply would have been the risk is too great to consider contact lense solution replacable by tap water.
