You will be surprised how often when watching the show that looking at the end of the question gives it away almost immediately, and with a search running the way Watson probably is running, getting the words in sequence would make a difference in how it can do its word association algorithm.

Actually, not surprised at all that you can skim for the "catch" in the clue. Also, I think personally I would have a much harder time playing w/o being able to read the clue - I process that just as much as Trebek. (Makes Eddie Timanus' performance all the more impressive to me.)
