"Is it alive?" is a classic trap because it may create a broken state if it's a person that is dead. You will never know how someone will respond to "yes, but no" facts, and since it's such an important question you may end up in the wrong half if there's a mismatch between your interpretations.
Probably the question that leads to most "but you said!" situations.
