Obviously your racism is blinding you to the fact that math answers are not absolute. Do you not realize that there are no objective truths except that you are part of the systemic, racist, white patriarchy and that your demands for "right" answers are only helping to keep minorities down? Just think of the good grades everyone will be able to get when all answers are correct. Everyone will have such good self esteem. Yeah, that bridge might collapse, but the people plummeting to their deaths will have the comfort of knowing that the guy who designed it wasn't denied a job based on poor performance. After all he got an "A" in math.
