That is not a "form of a yes or no question". Yes/no questions are closed questions; questions that can have many answers (for example, "What's your favourite Pokémon?") are called open questions. And they all offered backing statements, even ones as small as "it looks funny". Sugimori's comments about a bird standing on one leg might be considered semantics. Ever heard of the saying "mind your own business"? It doesn't mean "mind your own company". I'm not arguing any more than you are; I'm simply discussing the points you raise for your point of view, and rebuking them with my own. That's a discussion. If I wanted to argue, I'd flat out say you were wrong. Instead of "arguing", as you put it, with me about this, why not try asking someone who can give you a more definitive answer, hmm? Can you even find another source to corroborate your claim? --[[User:Oz|<span style="color:#800000">'''O'''</span>]][[User talk:Oz|<span style="color:#C8A2C8">'''z'''</span>]] 12:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC) | That is not a "form of a yes or no question".

:I don't know how old you are or what your level of education is, but that is a form of a yes or no question. It is closed. To ask someone what their "favorite" is closes off possibility to answer in any way but to give the "favorite". Just because they chose to elaborate doesn't taken from the fact they were closed questions from the onset. They teach you this in English class, so you may have got it. | |||
:I have heard of that saying, and my point is that you're bringing up alternate definitions for a singular term when no other definition fit the example. It's simple obfuscation on your part. | |||
:Why do I need a source other than the OFFICIAL guide to Nintendo, and from the very mouth of the guy that caused this site to come into existence in the first place? It's a non-issue. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 12:52, 7 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
