OK, I understand all this, but I guess my question is a little out there since you don't seem to understand what I'm asking. Or nobody else knows what I'm asking either! I just don't know why Siri's performance is so miserable at times when asking her to look something up or find something or answer a question. On the contrary when I plug something into a search engine I get far better results. I suppose these are two different systems of gathering information
