Idle speculation...(!)

Hypothetically, somebody might answer it.

I would say yes, or in some cases no. Of course yes implies no, so on the other hand your question is devoid of any real meaning.
This lack of real meaning is the root cause of alienation, the zietgeist of our times, given this lack of meaning as it applies to your question, I would recommend that you first, reexamine the terms you are using, making certain that YOU (in as far as that entity exists outside cartesiean delusion*) understand its implications and ultimate irony.
But again, notwithstanding all of the above (the exception proves the rule) I would, in most cases and with some caution, say yes.

Hypothetically I would try to respond with the best of my knowledge.

What if? - would that be considered a hypothetical
question all on it's own? :bugeye:

If you asked me a hypothetical question I would base my
answer on the hypothesis that you brought forth in your
question. If we were to continue to do this, in my opinion,
we would be engaging in idle speculation. :)

Yes would be.

In my opinion, having a conversation based
on hypotheticals would be engaging in idle
speculation.

It is a shame that expressions don't come through the writing. I was not thinking in the line of would be as much as yeap; it is. :D

When I read your reply I wasn't exactly sure
where you were coming from. Seeing all the
?'s and no smilie to go with it is the part that
made me unsure - so I decided to reply to
avoid any confusion. ;)

I'd have to answer your hypothetical question with another question, perhaps one of a hypothetical nature.

it was just a little levity (very little, apparrently!)...of course the question itself was hypothetical in nature...

Hypothetically, I would turn on my brain and prepare a massive psychic assault.

in reality, anybody who would try to smack me, especially a little nose-picker, would hypothetically need a facial reconstruction. I despise pissant little jerk-off know-it-alls. you would last 3 minutes in my neighborhood.

In reality, anybody who feels compelled to attach every post with the equivilant of a turgid, pompous bumper sticker would be utterly incapable of mounting "a massive psychic assault."

? It's my sig. Now now now, aren't we all feeling sensitive here...I'm warning you now...don't bring out my maternal side...it's pretty scary and horrifying. Your puny little mind wouldn't stand it! You wouldn't last three minutes within the twisted depths of MY mind :D

my, my...aren't we getting a trifle patronizing and obnoxious?oooh man I am really shaking now. anybody who quotes the scumbag ruling family of the weasel shit-stained house of saud is a mental midget by definition. what western nation did you escape to in order to further your so-called "education"? maybe you should find a way to accelerate you entropy...perhaps your insidious Anti-Semitism will help your walnut-sized brain in this regard.

Freaky. By saying "yes implies no" did you mean to imply that yes doesn't imply no? Yes or no?
