Is this a big deal in theological circles... about Jonah?

I am confused as to how anyone could think Jonah was not a true prophet since Jesus discussed Jonah, regardless of the eventuality of what happened to Ninevah. I guess I don’t see the connection between Jonah’s prophecy over Ninevah and what happened much later to it?

I thought it was a simple point to make - sometimes prophets say things that don’t happen as we think at the current time. Jonah, other prophecies ( like 70 weeks) - things don’t happen the way we think based on what ‘the prophet’ said, so we declare someone ‘not a prophet’. But, over time, we understand. Like I said, I thought it was a simple point, I evidently can’t communicate it...
