      It would likely need clarifications 🙂

      I’ve just asked Wolfram Alpha that question. It responded: “Because” (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=why%3F)

      Great question!

      I think it depends what the programmer has told it to do 😉 if you haven’t told the computer how to respond to the question ‘Why?’ is will probably get stuck!
