Answering questions with questions

May be a poor way to disseminate information.

But it is an excellent way to illuminate truth.

Which I suppose could be frustrating for all parties involved, if different goals are held by each. I can picture it now. Dr. Bob wondering why we are having such a difficult time grasping the truth, while posters are wondering why Dr. Bob refuses to disseminate information. :)

Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify which is the goal. We could say, "Dr. Bob, we're not looking for truth or wisdom, although we thank you kindly for trying to lead us to it. We're just asking for some information please. Now, what time is it?"

However, I think I may be wandering from Administration to Philosophy. Which is definitely far afield from any knowledge base I may have.

And I am certainly not trying to be disrespectful to anyone or their concerns in this post. I hope that posters who are also deputies may occasionally be allowed some playfulness? I had started writing the post and it struck me as an amusing picture, is all.
