The whole concept of “questioning” is questionable, as it’s suggesting an improvement over status quo where claims you overhear are unconditionally accepted as own beliefs verbatim, or at least alternatives to them are discouraged from being discussed, which is insane (and the way language models learn). A more reasonable baseline for improvement is where claims are given inappropriate credence or inappropriate attention to the question of their credence (where one alternative is siloing them inside hypotheticals).
