"why didn't you do them?"

"That is a good question and it merits further explanation. When you made your originally inquiry I determined that the answer you wanted to hear was "yes." so that is the answer that I provided. Upon further reflection it is clear that your question required a more thoughtful answer. If you would like me to provide more truthful answers in the future, please amend your queries with "no cap" and I will do my best to remember that preference."

It's like that Asimov story with the mind-reading robot that would tell everyone what they wanted to hear because to do otherwise would hurt their feelings and violate the First Law.
