My framing of this is that "a well enough posed question has a
self-evident answer".   I *like* "why" questions but only insomuch as
they are about subjective, human-value relevant topics.  Even there,
deeper inspection (e.g. meditation) seems to degenerate to "what" with
"why" being variously an illusion or a highly subjective self-evident
tautology (e.g. "because I want to").
