This is a trap and a loaded question. It allows you to mentally dodge any questioning our challenge. It allows you to assume and shift the burden of proof.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
