Let's say that we've had a very long conversation about horses. And in the course of this conversation, we've decided to call a horse's tail a leg. I'm not sure exactly how I convinced you, but rest assured, I was very persuasive.

Now, a simple question: how many legs does a horse have?

... Five, I guess? Is this another riddle?

[smilingtransfer]

Is five your final answer?

[autophoenix]

I don't even get to know if it's a riddle first?

... Yeah. Sure. Final answer.

[smilingtransfer]

Interesting.

If I don't call it a riddle, does that mean you won't see it as one?

[autophoenix]

What's so interesting about it?

I ... Maybe? I don't know.

[smilingtransfer]

Does that mean me telling you what sort of statement I'm making changes how you react?

[autophoenix]

Do you always have to answer questions with questions?

[smilingtransfer]

No.

See?
