I have a minimum of one question per activation pass. Usually I start with about 3. When I have three I get started. Too many questions right at the start hinder the discovery of the unexpected.

A reporter with a list of questions will get the answers to the questions but unless they are willing to hear the answers and find the next question from that.

It's like the questions on this thread. You could easily have posed me a list of 50 question. I'd have answered them as briefly as possible because there are so many I'm wouldn't elaborate more than necessary to answer the question. Why because there is a lot there and it's a lot of work to answer and it takes more time to answer 10 questions than just three question.

Your mind will do the same thing no matter ho w good the questions are.

While I might have answered all 50 (or even only 10) questions you might would probably find something lacking.

When you talk with someone you ask a question hear the answer that leads to other questions. However its quality not quantity that is serving your purpose. Chances are you get answers to questions you didn't even have to ask.
