Just saying No, then having the person find the tablet and question why you mislead them (never mind that the answer was accurate) is the more than likely outcome of that. Best to be avoided.

Cheers.
Not my duty to educate them about the difference. Oh, and don't forget "Kleenex".

I've done it before and breezed right through.

And finally the "assume" cliche. I assume they mean what was asked.
