You know fifty teachers?

I don't think that he was suggesting that he knew 50 to name to you.

Quite. Which makes the statement quite simply a blatant lie.

(given his posting on the subject) ISTM quite likely he thinks that he
can nominate them randomly.

The one thing near everyone has is direct experience of teachers at one
time in their lives. I dunno what sort of school Firth went to to make him
say all are useless. Probably says more about him.
