A good sentence ending with a question mark

One stormy and rainy night, two sage philosopher's sat in a mansion's study engrossed in tomes and tomes of books. While tucked away comfortably on their leather manor chairs, one of them, setting aside an opus of great thinkers, stared blankly into the fire place and asked the other in a sunken voice of despair, "What is a good question?"  The other, stirred away from his musings and likewise perturbed  after some lingering, respond, "Hmm... might that be good question?"

The moral of my story isn't to ask questions that intend an absurd reinstatement of the prior question; rather, I just wanted to induce a meditative air as I consider a hint of a plethora of aspects that accompany the art behind questions that simply seem good. An imperative quality to "good" questions is that they comprise of a relevant context and an appropriate purpose. Context, in a sense, demands a question's correct correlation between its circumstances of a situation and the response(s) it intends to obtain. For example, someone would be bizarre for asking a zookeeper a question on quantum physics because it has no context in zoology, which I assume would be the context of a question posed to a zoologist. Let's suppose an analogy, if a question were an animal, like a kangaroo, the context would be it's indigenous habitat, the Oz. Moreover, questions relying primarily on context tend to be vague and mechanistic; they just lack flavor. Context may be the outline of a question, but the purpose animates it with color. Purpose implies intention. It paints the question with all the colors of mood, tone, and rhetoric. Questions may be informative to seek knowledge or conceptual to create new philosophy; rhetorical to make a point or Socratic to generate discussion, and sometimes they may even be sly to deceive. The tone of a question usually reveals the inquirer's intention for asking the question, and it creates the mood for the question's context. For instance, the question "What are you looking at?" may evoke varied responses based on the question's tone and mood. A curious professor may politely ask a biology student studying plant cells through a microscope, "What are you look at." On the contrary, a frantically self-conscious woman might rudely query a person looking at her and intolerantly ask that person in a voice of absolute mockery and derision, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?"    
I believe it to be important on how to construct good questions in daily conversation and writing, because the context and the purpose of questions often imply the type of reaction and answer they receive. Questions will always be self evident of man's intrinsic nature to inquire and pursue the truth, then it's worthwhile to appropriately ask the relevant ones.
