"Question" as used here is closer to "matter" or "problem" than to asking. I just can't find the right word to describe a point raised about a paradoxical relationship. When I read it, I find an implicit question, though I cannot put to words the exact inquiry. Maybe "Why?" In a way, all replies on a public forum are implicit questions. (This is where I get even more hand-wavy, sorry)
