I liked philosophy before OB, so I knew you were supposed to question everything. OB revelealed new things to question, and taught me to expect genuine answers.

In fact, I'd say that OB reinforced in a more concrete way the belief I got from Wittgenstein that not all questions are meaningful (in particular, the ones for which there cannot be "genuine answers").
