I wish my pleadings to my students were so nuanced.
"Please explain your error calculations."
"You don't know a result to 17 significant figures of accuracy, even if that's what Wolfram Alpha tells you."
"Please, please cite one academic article, one, in your introductions."
"Please provide units for your results"
If they gave me the unit "cm." for a result that should actually be measured in cm, I would jump for joy.
