Tractable

(adjective)

: capable of being easily led, taught, or controlled

“The computer scientist Alan Turing noted that the question of whether a machine can think is incredibly difficult to determine, not least because of the lack of a clear definition of ‘thinking’; he proposed investigating instead the more tractable question of whether a machine can convince a human interlocutor that it’s human—the so-called Turing test.” — William Egginton, The New York Times, 17 Mar. 2019
