Question: Does effective questioning promote worthwhile online conversations on topics that matter to us all?

Answers: “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.” -Voltaire | “The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions.” -Claude Lévi-Strauss | “If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.” -Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow

“It's a fact—everyone is ignorant in some way or another. Going online and asking questions is the best way to learn. -Tom Felton | "I love doing what I do. I love asking questions. I love being in the mix." -Larry King | "I love the early process of asking questions about a story and deciding which questions matter most." -Diane Sawyer

“At the end of the day, the questions we ask of ourselves determine the type of people that we will become.” -Leo Babauta

Do you think this postponement will increase the number of candidates earning a PHD in The Fine Art of Questioning?

In what ways does mentioning green socks and blue slippers relate to things that are on your mind?

It was a simple question Bob and I respect your opinion as you know green is a nice color and blue as well, so why not tell me if it suits you? Why would you avoid a question as simple as the color of your socks or mine? This thread could just as easily be about socks as any other could it not? Do you have something you would like to ask of more importance?

Would you approve of my preference for black dress socks, tan with loafers as well as ivory colored woolen athletic socks?
