Well, I think I mean to say that science don't bother making up
questions, rather it posits problems. And I think I mean to say that it
is _only_ science that deigns to posit problems for which it _does not_
have a solution. (Or a dogma, or a chant, or a pressure point....)

Questions are too facile, too symbolic, or adroitly answerless. Or can be
shifted too readily, as you evidently love to show us, into quite other
things.
