The problem involved is that of loaded questions: questions which aren't truly questions because they demand the acceptance of some (usually controversial or inflammatory) proposition in responding to them.
Also, a distinction must be made between passive-aggressive questioning, which is essentially the demand that others investigate for you, and active inquiry which is personal movement that follows some important questionable proposition with other investigators.
The over-arching philosophical topic is that of questions, and to begin with this topic one needs to start with the question of questions: "what is a question?" Before I go further, I would like you to appreciate the strangeness of this question: it is literally a question questioning itself. I would like to suggest that this is extremely close to what self-awareness is: the self questioning itself, which means to throw the entirety of one's interpretation and understanding of the world into questionability. There is a self-undermining, or perhaps overcoming quality to this; an undoing of the self that makes it possible for the self to aspire towards not-itself.
