The premise of the question is just fine.

It is easy. If you are looking for an answer, which is more important, the answer itself or the way the answer is delivered?

In my ever so humble opinion, the answer is what matters. It doesn't matter what kind of sugar coating you put on the delivery of the answer, if the answer is wrong it ain't worth shit. On the other hand, if the answer is wrapped in dogshit, but it is the right answer, it is worth getting some shit on you to get to the answer.

Too many folks want the answer but also demand that it gets delivered in a "nice" manner. Screw that shit.

PD got it right, some of the best teachers I have had were the nastiest motherfuckers you could possibly find.
