You will most certainly get a more appropriate answer and feel less frustrated about its understanding.
Ask clearer questions
When trying to get clear answers, you should consider asking clearer questions.
In order for this to happen, pay major attention to how your question is being developed: not trying to influence the other's answer and having somebody double check the way the question was put might prove life-saving techniques in this particular case.
