"How?"

How elicits a type of thinking that most of us are not trained to do. When you can think in terms of process (how does X happen), you move away from the problems of questions such as "what?" or "why?" Many people think in terms of cause and effect (why X....because Y). People think in terms of structure (what is X).

~Actually, the difficulty of a question should be gauged by the issue it is posed to address, shouldn't it? The language by which it is posed ought to be considered rather superficial and insignificant, don't you think? Oops, that was two questions and they started with "Actually" and "The", neither of which is on your list. Never mind.

Ah, the meaning of life and will I ever discover it? Damn, I did it again. Mea Culpa. I'm out of here, and aren't you happy about that?

Why. I'm not convinced you can reduce any question beginning with 'why' to something that can be answered. Except maybe, 'because that's the way it is.'

should, because it implies sides, or would, because looking into the future and making assumptions correctly is difficult.

Should.......because it usually ends up taking sides. The side you dont want to be on......Life happens.
