What exactly is “self-evident” supposed to mean? Please explain.
It means that the message providing the answer contains, in itself, all
the evidence anyone needs to easily determine that the answer is true.
In practice, it is often used when the answer is not actually true.
Compare with a "no-brainer", where, in practice, the decision is almost
always not the one that would be chosen if the brain were fully engaged.
