Since we're talking about logical fallacies, "begging the question" is one such. It doesn't mean "poses the question".

My pedant internal stamps his little feet when he sees it being misused. ;-)

I didn't watch the show last night - I knew it'd just drive up my BP and make me yell at the teevee, something my kids then yell at me for.

I don't doubt that (my annoying pedantry aside) the discussion of it on link tells me as much about it as I need to know without any harmful side-effects.

Cheers,

Fred
