Is a question--unquestionably--a question?
NO?
You may be right. Afterall, some questions can be
solved, and then they don't insist on us the way some
questions do. Also, if questions always have a quality of
questioning, they are not real questions unless they can
be doubted.
Nevertheless, a literally minded type would insist that you
are wrong, saying that a question is a question, and that's
that, as though its obvious, and as though we are
referring to the word and not to any given question we
might have in mind.
