Some questions are implicitly raised by a situation. “Is this coffee cup capable of holding coffee without spilling it?”, for example. When I pour coffee into the cup, I am implicitly expressing more than 50% confidence that the answer is “yes”.
What I’m saying is that what’s implicit is a fact about you, not the situation, and the way the question is formed is partially determined by you. I was vague in saying so, however.
I agree that the way the question is formed is partially determined by me. I agree that there’s a relevant implicit fact about me. I disagree that there’s no relevant implicit fact about the situation.
Nothing can be implicit without interpretation, sometimes the apparent implications of a situation are just misguided notions that we have inside our heads. You’re going to have a natural tendency to form your questions in certain ways, and some of these ways will lead you to asking nonsensical questions, such as questions with contradictory expectations.
I agree that the apparent implications of a situation are notions in our heads, and that sometimes those notions are nonsensical and/or contradictory and/or misguided.
