Logical means there is a causal connection.
A statement is considered logical because there is a causal relationship between one meaning of a word and another.
So, are there logical questions? Does the idea that questions seek correct relationships mean that no questions are logical? Is it like being confused means something is clear? Or if you forget, does it mean you don't remember?
So, is there no such thing as remembering something you forgot? Or is there no such thing as understanding when you are confused? Or is there no such thing as a logical question if asking about the logic indicates searching for where the logic is, and why there is logic in a question that means it doesn’t need to be questioned?
It’s not that way, but because forgetting can mean remembering part of it and forgetting part of it. Also, there can be partial clarity and the rest confusing.
Similarly, there can be parts of a question that are logical but the rest unclear in direction.
So? When there is a question, it is composed of several meanings. And among different meanings in a question, they can come from different contexts. This is an illogical question.
Conversely, when a question is composed of several meanings involving one or many contexts with its main context, then it is a logical question.
So, it’s not that questioning something makes it unclear where the logic is, thus the question is considered illogical. Rather, the composition of several meanings that make up the question must...
Be consistent in context between one meaning and another within a question.
If the question is composed with different contexts, there must be a main context.
These two points are some of the characteristics of a logical question.
Examples of Illogical Questions:
〰 "Is it possible for a cat to become an airplane pilot after drinking coffee?"
〰 "Why do trees grow tall if cats enjoy playing with balls?"
〰 "Can music make ice cream melt faster than on Mondays?"
In simpler terms, IF A QUESTION HAS AN ANSWER, THEN THE QUESTION IS REASONABLE, even if the reasonableness is only partial in certain parts of the question, to question the remaining unclear part of the question.
Examples of Questions with Different Contexts but Logical (Because There is a Main Context):
How does exercising (context 1) affect performance (context 2) and sleep quality (context 3)?
〰 Even though different contexts, they are tied to one main context: "the impact of exercise on our well-being."
