The ladder of abstraction.

Real Life Situation: Mr Moussay's grandfather used to think that fruits would ripen earlier than they would normally because of global warming

Knowledge Claim: This is a belief
Topic: Heat, Global warming.
Poor Question: why does Mr Moussay's grandfather believe that fruits ripen earlier than usual due to global warming?
Intermediate Question: As global warming is increasing why does Mr Moussay's grandfather think that fruits are ripening earlier than usual?
Good Question: Using memory, experience and intuition, to what extent does Mr Moussay's grandfathers statement persuade you in believing it?
