Easy enough to deal with. You offer perfectly true irrelevant information that makes it look like you've answered the question.
Example:
Parent unaware that child is taking a nine hour road trip before reaching a substantially closer destination: "What time will you reach her house?"
Child planning to keep parent unaware: "It's a two and a half hour drive from here."
Same theory works for:
Lynch mob: "Are you a wolf?"
Wolf: "The problem with this question is that if you've already made up your mind, you won't believe me when I say 'no.'"
