Now tell me what's wrong with this question:
"Who created the universe?"
There's 2 points available.
"I don't know" is an acceptable answer.
I never said it was a yes or no question. I was trying to make a further point.
So I'll spell it out myself:
1) The question assumes that the universe was created
2) The question further assumes that some sort of sentient agency did the creating (Who)
So that's an example of a doubly loaded question. By answering "I don't know" you could be seen as acknowledging the premise of the question. So instead you should say I don't answer loaded questions.
