They share their own experiences of being upset over smaller point losses and imagine how devastating a 20% loss would be.

Perspective and Encouragement: The speaker offers a broader perspective, suggesting that while the immediate disappointment is understandable, the specific grades won't matter as much once the degree is earned. They try to offer encouragement and support.
