Of the questions you decide not to answer, which is most likely to turn out to be a vital question you should have publicly confronted?
Not the question you don't want to answer but would probably have bitten the bullet anyway. The question you would have avoided completely if it weren't for my question.
[Edit - "If I thought they were vital, I wouldn't avoid" would miss the point, as not wanting to consider something suppresses counterarguments to dismissing it. Take a step back - which question is most likely to be giving you this reaction?]
If this question has an obvious answer then I expect 'this one' would come in as a close second!
My question thanks you for complementing it's probable vitality, but...
...I'm hoping a good metaphiliac counterfactualist wouldn't have actually avoided a non-existent self-referential question.
