so this, is just something that sticks in my mind, analysing the approach of answering questions with a question.

is it a science of dialogue, a way of playing word games, a form of verbal attack/defence ... or something else ... (your opinion)

in relation to this topic i watched after footage following uk big brother winners, the channel 4 reality tv show. the winning contestants, after the show, underwent intensive media and PR training, this included dealing with interviews and such, put in front of the media they were at the forefront of the firing line. answering a question with a question is one way to deal with the interviewer, since it is more often that the interviewer is the host, on shows like johnathan ross. i love instances of watching his interviewees belittle him, and he's the one asking the questions they are supposed to answer to

does it tick you off if someone answers you with a question?
 
If the reply-question deals directly with the original question, perhaps to clarify or specify, then there is nothing wrong with replying with a question.
