Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[NDR2]

Only insinuating?

 

[Kisa the tea]

Should do more than just insinuate in this case?

 

[TBRS1]

Is an "insinuation" the same as an "accusation" except that an insinuation is made from a place of concealment and an accusation is made out in the open?

 

[Rodafina]

Are you saying insinuations are shy and accusations are brazen?

 

[AuAL]

Aren’t insinuations usually sly, not shy?

 

[TBRS1]

A sly insinuation is a shy accusation since a sly accusation acts, in practice, as a shy insinuation, does it not?

 

[NDR2]

How about sky insinuations or accusations?

 

[TBRS1]

Who knows what is contained by the vast, unimpeded sky?

 

[Rodafina]

Is an albatross a good guess?

 

[TBRS1]

Do you mean "just an albatross" or do you mean "amongst other things, an albatross"?

 

[NDR2]

What’s the difference?

 

[TBRS1]

If one imagined that the vast, unimpeded sky contained nothing at all, other than a single albatross, would one not respond to the question asked by saying "just an albatross;" whereas if one believed that there were more things than a single albatross, and also that albatross, would such a one not respond with "amongst other things, an albatross," assuming for a moment somebody is that interested in albatrosses?
