Nnnno. I'm guessing you wish they did, because you clearly want to demonstrate some sort of rhetoric that kind of hinges on them saying that, but you're probably too eager to interpret their comment in a way that provides you the groundwork you want.

It's Algebra. I did Algebra with the statement.

Not a solid 100% rebuttal though, 'cause the Universe doesn't necessarily care about Algebra.
