Well, everything has its down side and limitation. When I agree that some time one probably should question the question, there is really no point to push that too much. If everybody started to question the question instead of answering it, very soon, nobody will come here to ask questions any more.

You don't assume that the person who questions the question is right. It all depends on. The answers to some questions are very obvious, but most of the time, it is not that simple, and the OP usually have a better understanding of the situation than we do, they are just stuck with certain language particular aspects.

Leave this to each monk that answers the particular question, to determine what to do. The monks here are talented, and let's don't worry too much to guide them what they should do.
