I think you are mixing it up with order-preserving encryption and other stuff related to encrypted databases.
In the FHE model, the assumption usually is - you have some data, someone else does some encrypted calculations, you get the encrypted answer back, you decrypt the answer and read it. The adversary cannot play 20 questions because they only calculate the encrypted answers, they are not allowed to see what the answers are.
