A well written question will get good and clear answers.

How you phrase questions shapes the answers you get. Every pollster knows this. Any political question can get vastly different answers depending on phrasing. For example, "Would you approve a casino in your community rather than have economic development in this area continue to stagnate?" Is that neutral? Absolutely not. It assumes that a casino is the only mechanism for economic development, and that a casino is actually a useful industry for spurring economic development. Neither assumption is clearly true. Yet I remember a survey asking this once. Of course, people asked the question in this way are going to approve a casino.

The question asked determines, in large part, the depth of the answer. Unless you answer your questions with a simple yes, or no, but even then, whether you answer yes or no, your answer still informs us about you.
For example, if I am wearing a white shirt and I ask you, "What color is my shirt?" Unless you are blind, you'd answer white. But if I ask,"What are your thoughts on euthanasia?" Your answer, in all likelihood, would require a more thoughtful response that would include your opinions, feelings, and insights on the subject of euthanasia.

It is an example of cause and effect. The content and context of the question will determine the response. For every action, there is a reaction. Sometimes, they are equal and opposite though, and that's the weird part.

Well, the question is what allows the answer to appear or occur. Without the question being started, you'll never achieve an answer.

I think that came from Alex Trebec (spelling?) on Jeopardy. Something about them giving the answer first and then you say the question. Hee hee. No seriously. It means "Corn Flakes". That was an answer to an unasked question. Stupid, huh?

That if you ask a interesting question you will receive a lot of answers.

If no one asked the question...no one would look for the answer.

It means that your question is without substance and by answering it, I am equally guilty of lacking substance in my own answer to your question.
