If I were to condense the referenced question (which by way it wasn’t a statement) without changing the meaning of said question to read: [Could it be that in you have never experience such an amazing sight so therefore you have no clue?] would this question then have a more meaningful use to you and give you somewhat of a chance to question the question without considering it an oxymoron? harleysshhr

Can one hide a statement within a question as to dictate that the question in question is a question rather that a statement; therefore paraphrasing the question to enlighten those that question the stated question?

I believe the statement made in the form of a question is the questioning of ones thoughts, shared with others without questioning the question but instead reasoning with the reason for asking the question or is it reasoning with the question in an attempt to make another statement?

Do you think you've hit the nail on the head?

Wouldn't that suggest the he precisely defined the conculsion to the question and that no further questions would be necessary?

Why would one suggest that just because the statement has been made that the question has concluded that the question ever really existed at all?

Could one assume at least the question in question was played out and needed new blood in order to keep a line of questions questioning questions?

I would prefer a banana coconut cream pie, but if hitting the nail on the head was the answer then why are there so many bent nails out there?
