To clarify this a bit, the interesting bits are that Armok:

• Found the question confusing

• Noticed the confusion and stopped rather than generating a plausible-sounding answer (though the framing of the question makes this much less remarkable than it would otherwise be)

• Rephrased the question in a way that avoids the usual ways of thinking about both 'me' and 'wanting'

It's also somewhat interesting that his response to the question refers primarily to other peoples' desires, though that's very plausibly (sub-)cultural.
