Avon and Orac in “Unfinished Business”

Orac, are details of the orbiter contained in Belkov's computer?

I do not yet have enough data to reach a conclusion.

If it had the information, could you extract it? [Orac says nothing] Come on, that's a simple enough question!

[Hesitantly] There may be problems.

Why?! You've extracted information from Federation computers before, this is just a hotch-potch of three or four of them. You have already stated it is inferior to you.

It is not a question of superiority, but one of... attitude.

The logic of its creator.

Exactly. Let me remind you of ancient Earth mythology. The Delphic Oracle would answer questions truthfully without giving a true answer.

So what we need is not the right answer, but the right question!
