When did you stop beating her?

I see I have schooled you in that logical fallacy.

Complex question / Fallacy of interrogation / Fallacy of presupposition

This is the interrogative form of Begging the Question. One example
is the classic loaded question:

“Have you stopped beating your wife?”

The question presupposes a definite answer to another question which
has not even been asked. This trick is often used by lawyers in
cross-examination, when they ask questions like:

“Where did you hide the money you stole?”

Similarly, politicians often ask loaded questions such as:

“How long will this EU interference in our affairs be allowed to
continue?”

or

“Does the Chancellor plan two more years of ruinous
privatization?”

Another form of this fallacy is to ask for an explanation of
something which is untrue or not yet established.
