Did you not research the phenomenon a bit? Google it?
One hypothesis is that they didn’t touch the stuff that the doctors touched.
I mean I’m getting that your question is rhetorical. Which is to say it doesn’t get to the point quickly. And I think you’d be better off getting to the point quickly. So you can move on to more meaningful investigations.
There was nothing rhetorical about the question. He asked a question. Rhetorical doesn’t mean anything about getting to the point quickly. It means a question that doesn’t need an answer.
A rhetorical question avoids getting to the point because getting to the point is not the point of rhetoric. The point of rhetoric is emotional effect. Therefore when swift and easy arrival at the point is eschewed (a moment’s google), and an emotional effect is clearly evident, then rhetoric is clearly the point.
Tangentially, consider the phenomenon of “smugnorance”.
And his question wasn’t beating around the bush. He literally just asked a question. It wasn’t rhetorical. Just because you say it’s rhetorical doesn’t make it rhetorical. Rhetorical.
Are you really wondering?

And repeating your thesis sways me not at all.
Have you tried whacking yourself in the head with a rock?
Yeah but it led to me having this conversation with you so I’m not going to recommend anyone else try.
You’re an ass, go away
Gee, sorry.
What the actual fuck is your problem? Completely insufferable.
