There’s nothing wrong with my reading-comprehension skills, which were taught to me via my parents and not any school-system.

These questions are generally not because I don’t understand what you’re saying, but because you are making implications some of which, if exposed, undermine your own arguments or claims. (ie Socratic method.)

Socratic method, also known as maieutics, method of elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate, is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presumptions. It is a dialectical method, often involving a discussion in which the defense of one point of view is questioned; one participant may lead another to contradict themselves in some way, thus weakening the defender’s point. — Wikipedia
