I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to mean.

Should I file this under the heading of "honesty" or merely "intellectually lazy"?

Neither. What are some of the other nearly infinite options? I can think of 3 obvious ones that are reasonable options:
1) Respond by lying. (This could be by saying that the official got it right; or by saying that you don't know; or by saying that you didn't see it when you did see it.)
2) Respond truthfully. (This could be by explaining the rule; or by saying that you don't like to discuss rules with fans; or by saying that you didn't see it when you actually didn't.)
3) Do not respond and simply ignore the question. (Feign death, in "Far Side" terms.)
Of course there are other options, like punching out the questioner or changing seats to avoid answering or farting in his general direction. But those seem not to be reasonable choices. So if I've been intellectually lazy, what are my other reasonable, nearly infinite, choices?
