I thought your original question, "Why is this serendipitous?", was going to be answered by @wadepaterson "20 Questions" famous posts... He had such a great post about his coming interview this week... I only had to wait a few more lines to see him mentioned a bit father! Good to see his name underlined here too. Thank you!

I really LOVE how you also underline and point at the fact that questions contain inherent potency which directs the potential potency of an answer. I often like to use the rule of three when it comes to questioning, especially in a live situation where someone is on the spot and has to answer something. Unfortunately, this usually seems to be putting pressure on the individuals... So, I ask the question, sometimes exactly the same question, or rephrase it in other ways three times in a row simply by adding up a why at the end of the person's answer. One usually ends up with a real gold nugget of na answer this way.

As I studied in philosophy, asking the right question and understanding the underlying concepts behind it, helps one exposing the answers. As you pointed out so precisely "If only you would ask the right questions,(...)".

Thanks for the contest, though I can't seem to have access to the steemit.chat this is a valuable contest to which I look forward to read the questions & answers as well getting to know our community better and, therefore, aspects of our inherent potential as a community in all its diversity. 

All for one and one for all!   Namaste    :)
