Question 5
Why do people answer questions with another question
ChatGPT
People often answer questions with another question for several reasons:
- Clarification: They may seek more information or context to provide a more accurate or relevant response.
- Deflection: It can be a way to avoid answering a question directly, especially if the topic is uncomfortable or sensitive.
- Encouragement: They might be trying to encourage the other person to think more deeply about the topic or to express their own views.
- Engagement: It can be a conversational technique to keep the discussion going and to show interest in the other person’s perspective.
- Challenge: They might be questioning the premise of the original question or challenging the assumptions behind it.
This tactic can help in guiding the conversation, exploring underlying issues, or gaining a clearer understanding of the topic at hand.
