That reminds me of the old Microsoft joke:
A helicopter pilot suddenly finds himself in a fogbank in Redmond, WA and
happens to come across a building. He scribbles, "Where am I?" on a card
and holds it up so the people in the building can see it. They hold up a
card that says, "You're in a helicopter." whereupon he nods and finds his
way again. His passenger asks him how he found out where he was when he got
such useless information. He explains, "Once I saw the reply, I knew I had
to be over the Microsoft campus: They gave me an answer which was
technically accurate but utterly useless."
