If every question was answered with a question, would any questions ever get answered? (Please feel free to answer with questions, just don't expect to get any answers...) and I'd like to know if theres a theory on this, there seems to be a theory for everything else.

Answering a question with a question can still answer the question... For example 'Would you prefer to look at h2g2 or boring-website.com?' 'Why would anyone go to boring-website.com???'

And then "But why would anyone prefer to look at h2g2 than boring-website.com?". But this sort of answer ought to be punishable by death.
BUT - it is an answer isn't it?

Theory? Like what? I think it's just a simple mistake that people believe interogatives only request information, and never proide it...

Yeah, well, as I was saying before my eeeeevil father chucked me off, Keep with it, Terry. And are you absolutely sure there isn't a theory for this phenomenon, Smiley Ben?
