    But they are seperate questions....

    for instance 2. "How do you put an elephant into A refrigerator" not "how do you put an elephant into THE refrigerator" or "into the same refrigerator"

    Back to 1. Well putting a giraffe into a refrigerator is clearly not a simple thing so surely it's saying do you look at complex issues too simply.
