All questions have answers by definition*.
Not all things that appear to be qustions or are framed as questions are, in fact, questions.
Some of the things that appear to be questions are incoherent and thus cannot, by definition, be questions.

*Whether they have answers YET is a different matter, as is whether you, I, or anyone else will ever know the answers and irrelevant to the topic at hand. |
Context determines whether or not a question is indeed a question? I'm not sure if this is simply stupid or incredibly arrogant.
Take this scenario. I ask you Why you love your wife. Who gets to decide the context? You tell me that you love your wife because God linked your souls for eternity or something equally irrational. I say, I'm sorry, that's not correct. Population X has determined that love is defined by A, B, and C and your reason is not on the list. Please go back and try again or I can only conclude that you do not love your wife, at least not according to my context which is the only way this question is meaningful to me. Who gets to decide which questions are meaningful? How about everyone! You should really go back and read some of what you've written. And before you ask, I have no interest in restating your opinion to your satisfaction. This is nothing more than a diversion and I have no intention in arguing in the schoolyard with a three year old.
