spoke from level —, not —
A lot rides on this one, so the ball stepped one level toward the middle before answering. The bar above is still where Jev actually put the weight — only the wording was softened.
That did not read as a question, so the ball did not bother scoring it.
The ball landed on the middle and rated the answer genuinely unknowable — so it said so rather than stalling.
Jev chose the level. Which of that level's phrasings you got was chosen in code, seeded on your question — ask the same thing again and the ball says the same thing.
