I'll articulate. The question is indeed asked with intent, but to the one answering, it comes across as something that can have a lot of answers as GP shows. At the same time, any answer can likely be interpreted in many ways, too. It opens up a lot of potential variations which, if you're looking for a specific answer and aren't very adaptable, sets the other party up for failure.

It's the same issue which many traditional questions asked by interviewers have. They are at best "okay" when asked with an open mind. At worst, they are beyond worthless and create bad blood, as the other party is set up to fail.
