Is it possible to see contradiction in our own messages (whether questions or answers)? Or, are we forever trying to find contradiction only outside the operation of our own mind?

someone asked:
Why, with XX views of this topic, have there been so few replies? (Added: may have been better to say so few follow-up questions...)

Perhaps the question of contradiction has been taken to its end and no longer exists, (added: or is contradiction so ingrained that we do not see it from moment to moment)?

Isn't that why questions are of such significance, for both the questioner and anyone who shares the question in his or her own life?
