Would be correct vs is correct
Hello,
If I ask a question and the person reply "That would be correct. Never.", should I assume that it is really 100% correct. Why he doesn't use "That's correct. Never". Are these two sentences the same?
Thank you!

0Thank you but now your “that is never correct” confuses me... So the situation is this - I asked -“you were never there before”, and the answer was “that would be correct. Never”
Do you mean that it’s a lie, or just an answer with annoyed intonation, or the same as “that’s correct ...”
