      Literally everyone learns from unreliable teachers, the question is just how reliable.

        You are being unnecessarily pedantic. “A person can be wrong therefore I will get my information from a random words generator” is exactly the attitude we need to avoid.
        A teacher can be mistaken, yes. But when they start lying on purpose, they stop being a teacher. When they don’t know the difference between the truth and a lie, they never were.

      I’d rather learn from slightly unreliable teachers than teachers who belittle me for asking questions.

        No, obviously not. You don’t actually learn if you get misinformation, it’s actually the opposite of learning.
        But thankfully you don’t have to chose between those two options.
