- conkeisterdoor 3y agoYou're right, he wasn't trying to obtain information — which isn't required for a rhetorical question, as the excerpt you quoted says. He was emphasizing his opinion by voicing it as a question. The text immediately after the excerpt you posted says this makes a valid rhetorical question: > ... or as a means of displaying or emphasize the speaker's or author's opinion on a topic.
