Comment: There are multiple names for this observation, but Wikipedia refers to it as Betteridge's Law of Headlines: that if a news headline is phrased as a question, the answer is almost always "no". That may work in print, but generally doesn't apply to casual conversation - I think that if someone, in a moment of frustration, asked "are you an idiot?", you wouldn't assume that the implied meaning was that you aren't. Zoa's conversation, despite its informal language, is, in theory, never casual - it can always think through all the implications of what it's saying. Whether it thinks correctly about those implications, or whether it takes them into account at all is another matter. |
