The person who asks the question or the person who assumes the question means something beyond the words? I mean, if you text someone, "Is it raining at home?" Are you inquiring about the weather, or are you hinting that they need to get up off the couch and finally go cut the grass before it starts raining? The tonal nuances and body language would tell you whether the question had deeper meaning, but without those, it's the fault of the listener to infer more meaning to neutral/non-contextual text.I'm just saying that people should sometimes give a person the benefit of the doubt when there is no tonal context. Questioning science isn't the same as doubting science -- heck, it *is* science to question science.Bullgrit</blockquote>
