How long do you think you can survive in a conversation where you are only allowed to ask questions in order to communicate with the other people who are involved in the conversation?

Don't you think that there might be a slight chance that people actually know all the things that they think they don't know and that asking the right questions might simply bring that knowledge to the surface within their own minds while at the same time making them feel as though they have figured it all out completely by themselves?

Are you assuming that my asking you what you think are the benefits of asking questions means that I don't think there are any benefits of asking questions?
