That is also a fair interpretation, especially for those students who just want to get the homework done with and don't really care about increasing their sureness in the theorem being re-proved.
If we additionally care about the argument and agree with all the inference rules, then I think there is a little more explaining to do.
Not only for the students, I think. Confusion between implication and inference was enough widespread to motivate Lewis Carroll to write an essay, and nothing much changed has since then. I didn't properly understand the distinction even after finishing university.
