GQ forum should be called "GQ with factual answers"

Okay, in that case, how do you know that one exists, if you don’t know what it is?

He has found a non-constructive existence proof. No doubt a truly miraculous one, which unfortunately is too big to fit in this thread.

Well I see they made the change. I like it. It was a good concession without actually changing anything. And it makes sense.

I’m just worried Q.E.D.'s head is going to start inflating like his post count.

…in the span of 26 minutes? :wink:

Speaking as a wordsmith, I vote against “Factual Questions.” I prefer the OP’s original title, “GQ with Factual Answers,” because the phrase “Factual Questions” is somewhat…contra-factual, shall we say.

A *question *can’t be factual. It is a question. The *answer *can be factual.

My suggestion, as a professional wordsmith, for an alternate name for GQ? It’s…
…ummmm…
…can I get back to you on that?

Thanks.

Yes.

But that’s exactly what “factual questions” means.

Just like in “computer questions”: Neither the question nor the answer is a computer. Rather, they are questions relating to computers, and everyone seems to understand it that way.

A “factual questions” is a question pertaining to matters of fact, rather than, say, matters of opinion.

…which would be an opinonated question?

Similarly with a trivia question, a moral question, an ethical question, a legal question, a subordinate-clause question, an existential question, etc. Hence, an inquiry about knights searching for the Holy Grail would be a quest question.

This one is my favorite so far. “Factual Questions” indeed!
