This reminds me of the Smothers Brothers when Dick Smothers answers a rhetorical question from Tom Smothers. Tom explains that it was “a rhetorical question – it didn’t require an answer.” Dick responds that his answer was a “rhetorical answer – it didn’t require a question.”

It’s a ‘rhetorical’ question that expects an answer. Try this one: “This statement is itself false.”
