Since this is the literacy tribe, I feel compelled to mention that that is not what the phrase "begs the question" means. It does not mean something like "ask the question". Instead, it is a term of logic. To "beg the question" is to assume the thing that one is trying to prove.
See begthequestion.info/ for more info.
