When you ask Siri a question, Siri may or may not know how to answer. Rather than asking questions covering a variety of topics, it's far more useful to use Siri to save time.

Not only is Siri far more accurate at performing common tasks, but relying on Siri can also save you the time of tapping through various screens to perform common tasks such as setting up appointments or alarms yourself.
