"It could be wrong, that's fine. Mathematicians are wrong all the time, that's why they're discovering cool new stuff." And this is what makes a great teacher! None of that "you have to be right or you're failing and it's your fault" nonsense we often see (bad) teachers and educational systems do, which only discourages people from wanting to learn more and learn from their mistakes.
