Relation Question
question in relationship.
Is there a relationship between X and Y? No?
Most neutral but muddled
Is there a relationship between X and Y?
Seemingly neutral, but some recipients have a bias to answer "no, not really."
What is the relationship between X and Y?
Bias towards the "relevant."
Hard to answer, "No, there is no relationship."
Are X and Y the same thing? Are they different?
Seems neutral False dichotomy.

I'm ruling out the possibility of implication or overlap.
What is between X and Y?
Only after it turns out to be something different.
relevance
Difference or no difference is a false dichotomy
Similar but not identical
Difference between "same" and "similar."
