How does UpTrust handle inquiry?

With only a few exceptions, it seems to me that the posting/commenting here tends toward making and responding to statements. Is there an implicit/explicit cultural value around making (controversial) statements on UpTrust?

Are questions more / less / equally as valuable as statements?

What makes questions trustworthy or untrustworthy?

What does it mean to uptrust or downtrust a post that’s mostly an inquiry?

How could questions and inquiry become a sincere avenue for bridging silos?
