if I try to calculate 6 divided by 3 on a calculator and it answers "you need to exercise more" ahve I been served better because it answered a better question?

Pretend that instead of "exercise more," the calculator gave you advice that was actually valuable. Then yes. Just because you expect it to be a calculator doesn't mean it can't be more valuable if it can do more valuable things.
