Does SafeAssign hate bibliography and cited quotes or is it just my professor?

Hey all, need some perspective on SafeAssign scores. I just got a draft back with an alarmingly high match rate, but when I actually looked at the report, like 80% of what it highlighted was literally just my block quotes, standard references, and the bibliography section.

My professor claims 'the system never lies' and wants to penalize me for similarity and robotic text patterns. How are we supposed to write proper academic research papers if the scanner triggers on the exact formatting guidelines we were told to follow? Has anyone found a reliable way or an accurate checker to preview how SafeAssign parses your papers so you can clean up the formatting before it reaches the professor's desk?

Our university migrated to an updated learning platform recently, and the automated grading algorithms have become way more aggressive with similarity reports. Nobody wants to risk their scholarship over an algorithmic glitch on an introductory essay. Using a simulated Blackboard safeassign checker gave me a clear preview of what my professor's dashboard would display. It completely took the guesswork out of submission day.
