Writing is not the only point here. There is a question about how
you read even less than perfect earthly ways of expression.
"...?" is not necessarily a normal question with a true or false

one. Nor does the act of a person "asking" what might have
transpired in private between that person and another mean that
one or both of the is in the best position to judge.
