"It depends" is such a dumb response to give

Like, depends on what exactly? If you don't follow up with anything, you're basically advertising that you don't know wtf you're saying. Unless you're expecting me to make your argument for you. Like sure, why not? Let me just undermine everything I just said with some statistically unlikely scenario I never considered in order to placate your knee-jerk skepticism.

If you need time to think, just say so. It's better than leaving me hanging with half a response
