In that case I think the only thing to do is something like this.

I asked you to read the message out loud to me.

Instead of following my instructions, you closed the message.

If you want me to help you with this issue, I'll need that you explain to me why you did that instead of following my instructions. I won't move forward until you do. I'll wait.

Oh I did. Almost verbatim. Basically the excuse was they became flustered and misunderstood. Which is understandable, but still, damn... How do you pretend to be that helpless and earn a degree that qualifies you to save lives? Basic problem solving involves at least the attempt at a solution. Mindlessly repeating the task that is failing without changing any variables is bad scientific method, which we learned in like 6th grade.
