The key here is that we cannot afford to ask complex, obtuse, confusing, misleading, or otherwise bad questions of users. It may be that we do have to ask the user something, or maybe we have to inform them of something, but whatever that is, it has to meet a much higher bar for clarity than I think some people are suggesting (not everyone). I haven't seen a UX proposal thus far that I've been satisfied with, but then, none of them appear to be properly serious attempts, more like ideas thrown out in the spirit of furthering the ongoing discussion, which I think is fine, so - as may have noticed - I haven't objected to them.
