I asked. What is life.

It gave me a decent introduction to biology, it defined what life is, then quizzed me. The problem is, it says to select the appropriate answer, but selection does not work.

It reminds me of the game developer behind "Another World". He made some good games, and was able to raise money from early game investors. He thought he could make a game maker. He would develop it once, and it would make all sort of games. So he pitched it, and investors were more interested than ever. Obviously he realized that such concept would never work. Today we have over ambiguous ideas, but they ship them anyway.
