Correct me if I am wrong, but I am interpreting this question
to mean everything which is perceived is reality such that
questions still exist, with the exclusion of only hypothetical
questions. Furthermore, I am making a distinction between
hypothetical questions and hypothetical answers such
that all input is reality and all output is not constricted
to reality. Therefore, output is not conserved.
Concerning observation, subjectivity would be equivalent to
objectivity.
Concerning responses, subjectivity would remain subjective,
but observers of those responses would perceive the
subjectivity as objectivity.
If it pleases the reader to consider a scenario with
God present then initial observation might be considered
authentic due to the absence of hypothetical questions,
but once a question asker responds with a hypothetical
answer the integrity of authenticity is random.

then we would have to actually answer the real questions, and solve the real problem, without going around it, and without the benefit of analogy to irrelevant factors.
or maybe - this is if I read your question completely differently-
if there were no hypothetical questions- doesn't that mean people would be much more knowledgeable, or content with their knowledge- - - if they don't have any questions that is...

Then it would be a hypothetical world.

well, then what would we have to put up here? Philosophy begins this way, no??? Supposition?
LOL
wow, I guess we would know the answers to all the questions that people ask and creativity would be limited, and conversations at first dates might get worse, and we might have nothing to argue about...this is a good question

...then all the answers would have already been discovered. Answering questions would simply be a matter of retrieving information we already know, kinda like the gameshow Jeopardy.

We would be a fearless species.
The ability to experience fear about the future is to create a hypothesis -- a "what-if".

Then I would feel pretty silly responding to this one.
