You seem to imply that the reaction is unreasonable, but if one is invited to ask anything it seems a fair expectation that the reply should be an actual answer

You seem to imply that the reaction is unreasonable, but if one is invited to ask anything it seems a fair expectation that the reply should be an actual answer, rather than plausible-sounding noises superficially associated with the context. As for the fantastic frog, getting words out of it at all would be a remarkable achievement for the different reason of how unnatural it would be for a frog to produce those particular sounds, but neither storing binary sequences that can be programmatically mapped to symbols nor retrieving or performing arithmetic on such sequences is exceptional use of a computer program.
