When faced with a question that may seem too obvious or unnecessary to answer, it can be tempting to ask if a response is truly needed. However, there are alternative phrases that can convey a similar sentiment without dismissing the question entirely. Some synonyms for "do we really need to answer that" include "is that a necessary question," "is that relevant to our discussion," or "does that pertain to our current topic."
