How is the response which is presented to the wise son an answer to the question which he asked?

The wise son asks why there are so many details to mitzvos, primarily defined in the Oral Torah. The answer is that the details emphasize the reason (ta’am, taste) for the commandments. We tell the wise son that the afikoman keeps the taste of the Pesach in our mouths. So too, the details keep the taste/reason of the commandments constantly in our minds. (Rav Kook)
