Trouble is insulting people isn't a valid way to get on in the world. It might get you on in the playground or in the pub but it won't get you on in a professional arena. I believe the purpose of education is to further your intellectual prowess and chances of success in civilization. This is probably where he's coming from. Additionally, picking and choosing which opposing views you think are valid and those which are open to ridicule is entirely subjective upon your own life experiences. some people think the earth is flat, some people think climate change is a hoax. Some people think religion is ok, others think it's the most ridiculous and damaging thing going. One thing is for certain tho, you will never convince anybody to change their views by insulting them.
Is my professor being ridiculous?

1. I'm not tryna change anybodies mind. The chance that a flat earther ever reads my summary is basically 0.
2. I wasn't insulting poeple for fun, the assignment said "summarize your reaction" so I literally just did what it said.
