That's because it's not possible. I also asked about that before (and it would 
probably be good if it could be documented somewhere that it's NOT possible).
The reason seems to be that the whole database would have to be searched for 
such a query.

Surely you have a template for those 3000 pages? With a template it would be 
easy to set [[Answered::No]] as default.
