This is prime Babbage material

I always thought it was asking if the machine was rigged to give fixed answers regardless of the input. Like, you call it an addition function but it secretly always returns 15. If you call my_add(5, 10) it spits out the correct 15. If you call my_add(9, 9) it spits out the "correct" answer of 15.
