It was cagey

I would deem that a cagey response

Ummm... so you're agreeing with me? I can't tell.

Also not a great analogy, because every single person in the US googling "who won the 2020 presidential election" already knows what the correct answer is as they're typing it. If you'd actually eaten dinner with your friend last night, and then asked them what was last night's dinner, them providing a cookbook link would be a 100% appropriate response.
