If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?

Today Boyfriend recounted me the following tale. 

<< "And for your next assignment," BF's math instructor informed the class, "I want you to take these problems and not look at the solutions to similar problems in the back of the book. You should use the tools we've been building in class, and figure out how to apply them, even if it's difficult. You know, that's what mathematicians do." 

Silence in the classroom. 

"Now," he continued, "the test for these chapters is outside of class time. You take it in the math lab. They schedule it that way so that we don't have to waste instruction time on assessment. Now who likes that??" 

BF raised his hand. 

"We got one guy here who likes that," the professor said to the entire class. "That's... it." >>

"Everyone hates you," I told him matter-of-factly.
