Couldn't everything be a question or at the very least, questioned?

Would that not be the point of looking for more grammatical clues, such as "where", "how", "when", "who", "what", and any other word that leads to a true query? Am I just spinning my wheels here or does a question mark in and of itself make a sentence into a question?

Punctuation dictates that a question mark denotes a question, but is there more than that? Vocal inflection? (oops 2 questions)

I don't think a punctuation mark is enough. It's like saying a uniform is all there is to being a cop or what do you think?

Are you questioning our questions?

(come visit us here in Australia, we make everything sound like a question)
