And that is also exactly how we want them not to work: we want them to be able to solve new problems. (Because Pandora's box is open, and they are not sold as a flexible query machine.)

"Where was Napoleon born": easy. "How to resolve the conflict effectively": hard. Solved problems are interesting to students. Professionals have to deal with non trivial ones.
