There's a proverb in my native language (Norwegian) which is used as a reply to a person who complains about a *poor answer* given to his/her *poor question*. It says that the quality of the answer is relative to the quality of the question.

> 
> * You asked me a poor question, so I'll respond with a poor answer.
> 
> 
> Roughly translated:
> 
> 
> * As asked, so answered
> 
> 
> 

Is there a similar proverb in the English language?
