It was responsive, just not an answer.
“Asking a question is not a response to a question.”
Sure it is. It just isn’t an answer. I asked a question that shares something with yours: the answer is so obvious that the question need never be asked.
I suppose in a childlike way being coy and evasive is a response but most non-liberal adults understand it as a non-response.

Actually it doesn't. In the first place the question is internally incoherent and secondly there is no reason to believe that an answer to your incoherent question automatically answers my question.
