Concerning the definition of a question: A question is (discovered) when we have arrived at a logical situation where two things cannot both be true... they are incompatible. We ask which is more important and to be retained. In logic this is known as the exclusive or (the exclusive disjunction) and it is given the symbol XOR. It is the opposite of equivalence it is inequivalence (a logical function whose output is true if the inputs (at least one of which is true) are not the same... otherwise the output is false).
We can use a question to make someone aware of a bigger (more significant) truth claim which is in conflict with their prevailing beliefs. We can use questions to establish truth claims.
