Every time I search something like “Why is X bad?” on reddit or other forums, the majority of comments is always people arguing the exact opposite. This has been my experience countless times over the years. Recently I started searching the opposite of what I want to know, like “Why is X good?”, and it works flawlessly.

    This plus a dose of a natural disdain for being given an answer in the question.

    The proper way to phrase a question should be “what is your opinion on X?”. Asking why X is good forces me to accept your assumption that it is good.
