Asking as submissive act. Thus avoided.

I've seen that in internet conversations. Where a simple question would do, a prolonged process of guessing, assuming and even accusing is embarked upon. Because none of the participants wants to submit, to lose.

It's a dom/sub culture thing. USA culture is such a culture. Look at popular fiction. It's invariably concerning the dominance of rightness over wrongness.

So reality itself stands upon the form of the dom/sub relationship in a way.

It's pretty deep.
