Watson was not confident in that answer - only 30% (http://asmarterplanet.com/blog/2011/02/watson-on-jeopardy-da...). Had that been a normal question, it wouldn't have buzzed in. It only answered because Final Jeopardy is the only time when not answering and answering incorrectly have the same penalty.
