Rhetorical questions

[eliminatedsprinter]

I've noticed lately that a lot of time is wasted here debating over who has or has not answered what questions.
A lot of the questions here are of the pointed "when did you stop beating your wife?" rhetorical type for which there are no valid or at least no objective answers. I understand why those type of questions are used. I just don't understand why those who pose them seem to expect an answer every time they ask....:rolleyes:

It's actually a poor debate strategy by someone without a valid / strong point.
During my debate team experience back in the day, we salivated when the opposition resorted to this type of strategy or "lack there of".
