@benfell @ninokadic @PhilSciProf @ivanrmanuel @DominikDammer @philosophy @academicchatter @chiffchaff To be fair, my gut response to someone who is not answering a question is also typically suspicion.

But always engaging with every question which arises is itself a choice. And it's one which can be, and is, deployed sometimes to end the previous line of conversation if it was going somewhere one wanted to avoid.

So, determining someone's motivations may require more nuanced discernment.
