Now, seriously, What does a 'good question' mean? Doesn't it indirectly imply that the other questions were bad or were just ok. Do the questioner then have to fight an inner battle to decide if the question is good before burping it out. We all have been told that there are no stupid questions but isnt the 'good question' comment another way of saying that your previous questions were not stupid but can be classified , at the very best, as mediocre.
Is this an American thing or cross-cultural? Is it done in Asia? Europe? If it is, I must've been a master at asking mediocre questions and surrounded by mediocre people since I never heard it while in India.
To me its as annoying as the quote unquote thing done by people using their fingers while speaking since I now have to figure out where the quotes start and end.
On a different note:
