Sorry, can't parse this (I doubt it's English). > What is your meaning of "wrong idea in the general case" ? In the general case, it's pretty general;-). In the specific case of your "question" above quoted (interpreting the mis-spelled words and grammatical errors to the best of my modest ability), reading it as rhetorical means it's in fact intended as a statement (that a particular programming language cannot have high priority for organizations of size similar to MS's and Google's), and such a statement is incorrect (as I tried showing with several examples displaying "particular programming languages" having high strategical priorities for organizations with many thousands of employees, including one with more personnel [larger size] than Google's). An example of rhetorical question: "Do you really think that a specific technology [including a software one, such as a programming language] cannot have, in certain cases, *extremely high* strategic priority for organizations with thousands of employees?" In this example, the question is phrased to hint at how silly such an opinion would be, and therefore imply that you can't really think that (and must have ulterior motives for so suggesting, etc etc). Rhetorical questions are a perfectly legitimate style of writing (although, like all stylistic embellishments, they can be overused, and can be made much less effective if murkily or fuzzily phrased), of course.
