The mathematical equivalent of "well yes, but actually no." The first student confidently applies the power rule for derivatives (d/dx of x^n = nx^(n-1)) but skips the chain rule entirely. The correct approach would involve the chain rule since we're differentiating 7^2 with respect to 7. It's like watching someone get the right answer using completely wrong methods—the mathematical equivalent of failing successfully. That hesitant "you're not wrong but..." response is what every math tutor internally screams before launching into a 20-minute explanation about proper differentiation techniques.
