I don't get it, if he can understand one way and get the anwsers correctly why does it matter?
That instructor sounds like a douche. But some are like that.
If this were an english assignment and the student wanted to submit a paper that didn't meet the requirements--length, voice, resources, topic--would you say the same thing? That it doesn't matter that he doesn't fulfill the assignment, so long as he wrote a paper?
If it were an art assignment and the student didn't want to use the media or subject required, would you say the same thing? That it doesn't matter so long as he creates something?
I doubt it. The student is required to meet the requirements of the assignment because that is what the professor--and the university--say is what is required to demonstrate mastery of the material.

Well, most likely the professor isn't a douche but is trying to instill a PROCESS for doing the problems since there is probably something later on in the material that will require you to use this process to solve the problem or it won't work. Math is kind of funny that way.

Bingo. If he's in college now, he's not due any special treatment. Pass the class, or fail. Drop or repeat. I don't care, but if you can't fulfill the same requirements as I do to get to the same place I'm going, then I sure as heck don't want to be competing for a job. Sorry, no sympathy from me.

I have to agree.
I struggled to write for an English class, after writing philosophy papers for the longest time. It's both writing, but different ways. I learned a different way and now I'm better because of it.
Plus you have to sometimes learn to perform for the teacher as much as the material.
And there is something to be said about doing the work that leads to the answer rather than the importance of the answer itself.
