I'm spooked by anybody that utters the "trust me" thingy.

I learned from my "professor" that an arrow delivers very little enegry to it's target, Matter of fact he indicated an arrow is driven through it's target by a force called Momentum and imparts little, if any, energy to the target. It kills by cutting,not energy transfer.
Should I sue him for lying to me ?.
