Or the question and/or answer were poorly worded?

Offlist, he told me that he "was told the sockets were reusable after they 
were closed", which is technically correct, though (IMHO) poorly worded.  I 
don't know if that's because of a poorly-worded question, or a poorly-worded 
answer, or a combination of both.
