What is discussed
AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:
Montemagno illustrates presupposition through the wording of questions. At events, he prefers announcing the question period to asking whether there are any questions; he then offers a playful example about asking for a phone number. The passage shows how wording can presume a response, while acknowledging that the technique does not always work.
Key points
- A question can leave an alternative open or presume an action.
- The main example concerns questions after a talk.
- Marco closes by tempering the idea that the technique always works.
