Moffat's pulled that trick a couple times. Name/Time of the Doctor had "What's the Doctor's name?" "It's The Doctor - and that's all that counts" while Hell Bent tackled the half-human question with "Does it matter?" The Shrug of God as it is known. You can find it anywhere from Star Wars to Cowboy Bebop. Where do the humans come from? What is the ultimate fate of Spike? My favourite answer is almost always the one that allows a bit of autonomy on fans' parts. The truth, but not the whole truth and with the understanding that it's all subjective regardless. "What is the Doctor's name?" Well, it could be John Smith, the Ka Faraq Gatri, Theta Sigma, Qui Quae Quod, Doktor of TARDIS, the Sandman, Claudius Dark, Merlin, the Evergreen Man, Wormhole, Professor, Grandfather or simply just the Doctor. There's no particular right or wrong answer, it just depends on who you talk to. I would have thought the fate of Spike was obvious.

I thought it was obvious too, but there's enough evidence to point to it possibly being an illusion (or at least, not the full picture) and Shinichirô Watanabe says that -- He's only sleeping.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that one. {Spoiler}The ending as it stands in the simple interpretation is heartbreaking.

The man who wanted to leave it all behind and had it catch up with him regardless. It's beautifully poignant and messy, like Bebop is.
