Beg the Question
'Beg the Question' is a phrase used to describe a logical fallacy. You must accept the conclusion of an argument in order for the argument to carry any weight - ie "I met an angel" "How do you know it was an angel?" "Cause he said he was an angel, and angel's don't lie" B'eg the Question' does not mean a circumstance that brings up a separate, related line of questions.
