If she's not willing to give in, you play the game. You understand the nature of the material you are expected to learn, identify mistakes made by the instructor, and keep it to yourself. Those points are lost. There is no win to be had here -- you will end up wearing down the instructor and compelling her to give you the points to make you shut up, while she simultaneously makes a mental note that you are a difficult and arrogant student who is impudent enough to challenge her -- or you get nothing because the teacher is obstinate, and makes the same note.
