[Stylist] Answering Questions

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi everyone, 
I really enjoyed the writers' division call yesterday! 
I have one more question about when someone else is critiquing your work. I have a friend, in particular, who will ask questions, such as, perhaps, in a line, "What did you mean by (insert term?) or, as another example, "Does (insert person's name) really feel that guilty?" 
Usually, when a critiquer asks me questions, I try to answer them, for two reasons: first, to clarify what I was trying to do,  and second, because I feel I should take the time to answer them since they took the time to critique my work. But I'm wondering if questions are meant to be answered, or if the critiquer is just asking them to give me something to think about. 
Do you make it a point to answer your critiquers' questions? 
Thanks, 
Vejas
