I also realized something just now about my DD's seeming relentlessness with adults regarding their OPINIONS. She likes to invite speculation-- often on edgy or nebulous, or just plain uncomfortable/controversial topics.
Adults are seldom comfortable saying "I don't know" to children.
I think that we like to give them "answers" to their queries, not speculation.
The DD-Inquisition often results as DD tries to ferret out their speculative side on topics of interest. But first she has to convince them that she won't just accept that opinion as gospel truth or anything, that she's just interested in what they think, and wants to discuss it.
