What are disadvantages of questioning techniques?

Questioning techniques can sometimes lead to misunderstandings if questions are unclear or misinterpreted, which may skew responses. They can also create discomfort or anxiety for respondents, particularly in high-stakes situations, leading to evasive or defensive answers. Additionally, if overused, questioning can dominate conversations, hindering open dialogue and reducing opportunities for organic discussion. Finally, poorly timed or inappropriate questions can disrupt the flow of interaction and disengage participants.
