To me that is the essence of an unrealistic outlook. I often find people that ask these rhetorical questions do so to espouse their own beliefs and I've seen this type of behavior used in cults. They give you an answer before you've even answered. If so, please don't ask questions that you don't wish to see answers to that you don't want to read.
Well, you never know, it may lead to a broadening of awareness, a new line of enquiry.

I'm more likely to respond to topics like this where the initiator espouses a view.

They may return to contradict mine and, who knows, I might learn something new.
