      The Wikipedia article itself gives a similar example: “The adage does not apply to questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.[3] For example, “What Should We Expect From Evolving Import-Export Policy?” is an open-ended question, whereas “Should We Expect an Embargo on Widgets?” is of closed form.”
