The why of an answer

Editor: The guest commentary by Mr. Gonder started out making some valid points about the media coverage of the primary campaigns, but then his generosity knew no bounds.

He was willing not only to provide questions that used doubtful assumptions �” as if they were factual �” but also provided limited multiple choice answers or demanded yes or no answers.

It would seem that if one had any intellectual curiosity, one would be interested in the why of an answer instead of demanding: Yes or no. He forgot to include the classic query, “Have you stopped beating your spouse?” Answer Yes or no.
