   theory, a decision problem is a computational problem   
   that can be posed as a yes–no question on a set of   
   input values. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_problem   
      
   Most people have no idea that there is such a thing   
   as an incorrect question. Because of this they misclassify   
   incorrect yes/no questions as undecidable decision problem   
   instances.

       reliably computable.
