Is asking a question a questionable activity? And if asking a question implies the person does not want an answer, then how is a person to acquire information?
No. I pray you do not confuse my word games with serious philosophy.
"And if asking a question implies the person does not want an answer, then how is a person to acquire information?"
Asking a rhetorical question implies that the answer is already known to the questioner. Isn't that so?
"... how is a person to acquire information?"
One acquires information by asking questions.
One acquires knowledge by investigating questions.
