> BTW, if you ask it a question it believes is to vague to answer, it will ignore that question and you are not given a chance at asking a replacement question, e.g., “is there a god?” would be considered too vague to answer because of competing definitions of “god.”

In my opinion, an entity that knew everything should greet me with a no or yes as soon as we met because s/he would know beforehand not only what question I was going to ask but also which notion of god I had in mind.

On the other hand, if such entity and I met one day s/he would have absolutely no answers for me simply because I know everything too. 😃

1. Are we really the only 2 beings in the universe who know everything?
2. Is knowing everything as big a pain in the ass for you as it is for me?
3. Wanna go get a drink?

It would all be just polite small talk, though , because I already know his answers. And he knows I know. And I know that he knows that I know…

That’s why we need the drink.
