[b]There are Only Seven Questions
"There are Only Seven Questions" about statements regarding any person, place or thing

1) Why? 2) Why not? 3) What if? 4) Under what conditions? 5) How? 6) Where? and 7) When?

Besides, none of these seven questions invite or involve personality attack;
rather, they stimulate rational thought about overlooked possibilities.
