In such a case, rather than talking about unresolved answers, reply "As an interesting question, I'd like to talk about ideas clearly, please give me a little while" to answer the question, and try to reply after putting together ideas.

5: Focus on confusion
As you answer questions from the interviewer, you may concentrate too much on the previous answer and miss a part of the question. Rather than advancing with the question being misleading, let the interviewer repeat the question once again without fear. It may be more effective to listen to a part of the question in the wind saying "Do you mean ○○ in concrete terms?
