        Your “rhetorical question” and objections you raised were already answered in this thread before you raised them.

          It sounds like you still don’t understand what a rhetorical question is.

              Why are you asking me? I’m not the one accusing others of “nOt rEaDiNg dA tHrEaD bEfOrE u AsKeD a qUeStOn”. My top level reply was on-topic. No one has actually provided an on-topic reply to it yet.

            Seems you’re the one who doesn’t understand what a rhetorical question is. Hint - it’s not what you retrospectively call a question when you get called out on your laziness.

            Nor is it rhetorical when you ask a question and then spend several lines going on about it, and making it clear that you really did want to talk about an answer.

              Didn’t happen.

              Also didn’t happen.

              Schrodinger’s rhetorical question is when you decide whether your question was rhetorical or not based on people’s reaction to it.
