Short answers, honestly given
Each of these gives the answer first and the explanation afterwards, because that is the order people want them in.
Where the honest answer is that it depends on your property, that is what it says, along with what specifically it depends on. A confident wrong simplification is worse than a conditional right one, particularly on anything involving planning.
