I didn't say that you were ignorant. I said that you were making the rhetorical fallacy of "argument from ignorance"/ "argumentum ad ignorantiam"

I imagine my kid coming to me to ask why he got this ‘wrong’. There’s no answer I could possibly give that wouldn’t involve explaining that the teacher and/or person who wrote the test is kind of stupid, & that it’s best to indulge him/her. That’s not math. This isn’t math.

The problem here is two-fold - the question is binary - yes, that's a reasonable estimate but the second part is "why is that a reasonable estimate?" - "because it's the exact answer" is correct and answers the question. It's only wrong because the teacher doesn't understand math
