Is a son considered disobedient if he disagrees with his father in opinion, and the son believes that truth is on his side, knowing that the father is always doubtful and thinks his son does not understand?

If a father interferes in matters that do not concern him and prevents his son from working without a just cause, his anger does not make the son disobedient, as long as he remains dutiful to him. The son is advised to be dutiful to his father while safeguarding his own interests, and to use wisdom and dissimulation when necessary to avoid the father's anger in matters where he has no right to interfere.
