"...I’ve met many people who stubbornly insist that everything they say be
taken in the most literal manner, without any implicit content. This is
facile. The majority of the time, someone who says, “Don’t you feel
silly?” or even “Do you feel silly?” is implying that they
think there’s a good reason for the person to feel silly. Therefore, it
is not unreasonable to assume that a given person who asks such a
question is including that implication in it..."
