I bumped again recently onto the following quote by Voltaire: "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers."
This got me thinking when I visited the ask page in HN: what's the most valuable question one could ever ask?
The answer might be: "why?" But in some situations, like social gatherings, asking why can be a recipe for disaster. Are there no other questions that can be equally revealing?

What kind of questions do you like to ask?
