Thanks for pointing that out. Questions are an excellent way to focus someone to find the answer you would suggest. Or to demonstrate the uncertainty of their assertions.
When Mary and Joseph returned to Jerusalem to find Jesus, he was in the temple astounding the religious leaders with his
questions, not his answers.
They don't notice that much in my posts is less than certain. Not always punctuated with question marks, but not much more than statements of reasonable alternatives to consider rather than just asserting something as
the answer. And sometimes they are full of questions. And it is interesting how often the responses are full of certainty. And how often they don't really address the questions.
And I noticed late yesterday that I have been misspelling your moniker.
