Answering this question may prove somewhat herculean as I can't readily lay my hands on any literary terminologies for answering a question with another question.However,I may do my bid by trying to consider the possible motives behind trying to or actually answering a question with another...it could be done innocently,ignorantly ,sarcastically or for emphasis.I don't seem to see anything paradoxical or allegorical about this....(my opinion)
