What Kind of Answer Do They Want?

Do they want a real answer, a blunt answer, a soft answer, an answer which delays the real answer, an answer which confuses matters, an answer which blames someone but which does nothing positive and possibly does a lot which is negative, an answer which seems sophisticated but is void of substance, an answer which was given last time, an answer which will attack or please a faction, a soothing answer, an ambiguous answer, an answer which seems like a real answer but isn't, an answer which quotes someone who was known for giving answers, an answer which is really a question, an answer which foists the matter onto someone else, an answer which denies there was ever a question or an answer which tells them they don't want an answer?
