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
