You're assuming too much, there's people who have never used a landline, and would not know what an acoustic coupler, like the one in the movie, is used for. Even more confusing because the WOPR uses text-to-speech and natural language processing, which seem anachronistic for the 80s. Answering a simple question with "see X movie" is the same as answering with "read Y book", and borderline like "do some research" or "google it".
