Ask me a question that you think I will be reluctant to answer.

Is science fiction better than other fiction? (sorrel, moo, baah etc)

Does it count as being "reluctant to answer" if you think the question is fundamentally flawed? (Have you stopped beating your wife?)

I think the short answer is "no, but nor is science fiction any worse than other fiction, and I think there are false or at least unhelpful assumptions informing the phrasing of the question".
