We're talking about whether or not there is such a thing as a bad
question and how we might detect one if it exists.

### Meta
It was my turn to host and I think I'm not overly biased when I say that
Abby and Juan do a much better job in that role. For one thing, I was
pretty anxious that we'd end the recording before we ran out of things
to talk about. Not entirely unrelated: I say the word "template" in a
weird way.
It didn't make the recording, but Abby started talking to her cat right
after we said goodbye.
