That's exactly what my CFI was biting back in the right seat. I haven't reached the point where I think I know enough to "talk back" to ATC.
I think it kinda started when DAB APR told me to expect 9R at MLB, so when I checked on with the MLB TWR guy and he said 9L, I questioned whether he meant 9R. I didn't care one way or another, but I had been told to expect 9R, so just assumed the TWR guy misspoke. It was a long way to be taxiing, burning up fuel and Hobbs!
