When people are too vague in their questions, a lot can be open for interpretation.
For example, say someone asks a question like this,
"My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 years. I want to get married, but I'm afarid my parents won't approve. I'm Jewish and he's Catholic. Ohh, by the way, I'm still in school"
If I read that, I might believe it was someone who was 20 years old. I might say the person is too immature to get married, b/c they are still in school and they are worried about their parents approval to the point where they would not have a wedding."
If the person ended up being 35, I might view the quesion differently.
But, b/c they left out age and what type of schooling. I don't know the whole picture.

I would say something like "So what I'm hearing is that you're not really too sure about what it is that you want to ask, because you're not too sure what it is that will be done with the answer. Or the question. So what's the question?"

I would first state what I think the question is. Then I would answer honestly with either my experience or facts that I am sure of.
