I’m not sure. At least twice before I’ve gotten that question or a variant of it thrown to me and it helped strongly reevaluate my attitude on the issue in question. Possibly I’m generalizing from one example too much?
Actually, I was probably being too literal about the question because the logical paradox struck me as funny.
I will blame an ambiguity which I think is built into English. “How mindkilled are you?” can imply that you’re mindkilled in some sense which is stable over a period of time, or it can imply that you were mindkilled recently but have a capacity to come out of it.
