I would want my app to tell me it doesn't know something than give me false hopes.

In this case, I would really appreciate an "I don't know" answer too.

Might not be what I wanna hear at the moment, but that's the reality and the truth.

I think instead of these apps trying to cook up estimations from nothing, they should fallback, should everything fail, to simply saying, "dude, I have idea. You're on your own"
