SPOTTING AND DISARMING LOADED QUESTIONS IN TIME

Let me ask you a question.

"How can people be so stupid?"

Can you spot how the question is dishonest and loaded? How it is really an affirmation followed by a question?

Let's unpack it.
The question really means :

- People are so stupid.
- How can they be?

A more honest, unloaded question would be :

"Are people stupid?"
My personal opinion is that no, people are not stupid. So I don't even have to answer the loaded question.
