No, an unequivocal answer is not the same as a vague response. An unequivocal answer is clear, direct, and leaves no room for doubt, while a vague response lacks clarity and can be interpreted in multiple ways. The two are opposite in nature; one provides certainty, while the other creates ambiguity.

5 equivocal term
Buck, pitcher, charged and battery are just a few examples of equivocal terms. These are words that sound the same (and are spelled the same) yet have completely different meanings. In formal logic, one must avoid using these terms in inconsistent ways. For example: A buck is worth one hundred cents. Hunter Jones shot a buck with his rifle. Therefore, Hunter Jones shot something worth 100 cents. Logicians would say that we have equivocated on the word "buck", which means one thing in the first sentence, but another in the second. Equivocal terms show up in popular usage when people make puns. Ty Cobb is a great pitcher, so tip him over and pour me a glass of lemonade. Did you hear about the Energizer Bunny? He was charged with battery. The humor is in the differences between electrical charges and criminal charges, as well as between electrical batteries and the crime of assualt and battery.
Equivocal plantars refer to a clinical finding in the context of neurological examinations, particularly in assessing reflexes and responses in the feet. When the plantar reflex is tested, a normal response is toes curling downwards, while an equivocal response may indicate an ambiguous or abnormal reaction, such as a weak or inconsistent flexion. This can suggest underlying neurological issues, requiring further investigation. The term is often used in differential diagnoses to assess conditions affecting the central or peripheral nervous system.
