Noel's angel Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 yeah, but that is too easy. Actually, 'why not?' is another question, so therefore it cannot be the correct answer as you should not answer a question with a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesChristi Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I think part of the reason "Why?" is such a hard question to answer is because it deals with motivation, which we can't sensorily determine. "Who?" "Where?" "When?" and "How?" are much easier to answer because we can seek out physical evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
