RE: I can only go by what you say . . .

"You seem to think that questions contain no presuppositions. This can easily be disproved. "When did you stop beating your wife?" is a classical example. A proper answer would point out that the questions assumes that you beat your wife, which is the point at issue. A proper answer could be "I have never beat my wife," or "I have no wife," even though such an answer steps outside the terms of the question. Discussing the assumptions of a question is an answer to it."

Thanks for bringing this key point to light once again.
