Being sublinear time will, in most cases, force us to use randomness in our algorithms and limit us to only hope for an approximate answer in many cases getting a nonapproximate answer requires reading the input fully. However, for most natural problems the algorithm must use randomization and must give an answer which is in some sense approximate.
