I agree that GMs should say no - I once got smacked like this while playing the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign for CoC, and I deserved it. 

We were examining a bowl, for some reason, and I started going on about how old it prabably was, blahblahblah, despite the fact I was playing a lower-class aircraft pilot. Ciaran, the Keeper, just looked at me and said "I want a Chemistry roll, or you take all that back." I rolled and failed - "Hey chaps," said my character, "This looks really old."

"Much better," said Ciaran. And he was right.
