The basic form of my question is: How should a teacher react if a student comes up with a theory more rational than the teacher's?
I think that, ideally, the teacher should accept the student's theory and perhaps incorporate it into their curriculum. The only case wherein this could be a problem is if the student believes that, because one of their theories was more rational than their teacher's, all of their theories will be so. In that case, the teacher may wish to incorporate the theory in after the student has left their class.
