"A WAR MEANS A RISK."



It can't be expressed as

"A RISK MEANS A WAR",

although the second sentence is

grammatically right.



Therefore, the question

"What DOES A WAR MEAN?" can not

be replaced by "WHAT MEANS A WAR?"



The inner logic of the 1st question is

not the same as that of the 2nd, even though

"'What means A' can still include all of

the meanings that 'What does A mean' may have"

under circumstances.



I'm really a little cunfused by the whole tricky

process of the discussion between you and Ludi,

but I'm positive that I am correct with

the grammar and logic here.



Besides, I feel Ludi is also serious about it

this time, not mocking and teasing as usual.

When I was pulling his leg saying "Ludi is also

wrong with the sentence", I was referring to his

focus of thinking distracted to an irrelevant point.

He is right in pointing out the mistake of the

form of your question in the first place.



We all make mistakes now and then.

As long as we keep correcting them and hold

away from making them repeatedly, we are winners.

An American saying goes:

Winners never quit, and quitters never win.



Thank you for discussing with me and reminding me of

the logic of a sentence, which An AUTHORITY like me

(just kidding) might neglect.
