No one ever tells it anything different than this.

Of course the input doesn't tell it that. The problem description tells the programmer that is what he was supposed to do.

 The INPUT must tell the program what the question is.
What does the expression: COMPUTE THE MAPPING FROM INPUTS
mean to you in your own words?
 

Of course not.
Most programs just read in data, and do the operation they were programmed to do on the data.
I will ask you, where in the input to H is the question about asking about its behavior encoded in ANY way?
The question a program answers, is part of the program specification, not the input.
Yes, some programs implement a flexible question, where some of the details about the question are added to the input, but the form of that question is still fully specified by the program specifications.
You just don't understand what programs are.
I guess you are just a failed coder.
