When the question is asked "why are you doing this" and the answer is, "because it's our policy," what that means is, "we are doing this thing because it's the thing we do." I think people who give that answer honestly believe it's a valid answer possibly because they're thinking of the rationale behind the policy rather than the literal meaning of what they're saying. But when I've heard it, it's felt like an insult to my intelligence, like it's some stupid word game to dodge my question.
