Undoubtedly you will say that just because the machine beat the pants off you doesn't mean it understands the material better than you do, and you may have told your professor that just because you got a F on the final exam doesn't mean you didn't understand the material better than the professor did, but I think you will find that both remarks are equally convincing.
