Not a friend. An idiot online that im trying to prove wrong, someone online asked on an NFL video “why tf was it 11-0” and this idiot said “because one team scored 11 and the other team scored 0”. I said “he’s asking HOW the team that had 11 points got to 11 points”. And the idiot said “he asked WHY. Not HOW”.

That absolutely answers your question, I read the comments before writing anything 💀 they're asking what happened in the game aka highlights or summary

Also, what the person in the post i was referring to meant was “in what way did the 11-0 score come to be?” (Was it 4 safeties and a field goal, was it 3 field goals and a safety, was it a TD+2PC and a field goal?)

No, i know what info they want to find out. I’m saying, is “how did they get to that score” indeed another way of asking “why”?

What I’m asking is, is asking “how” the same as asking “why” in that context. Because the idiot i was arguing with said “he asked WHY, not HOW”. Even the person that asked the question said i was right 😂😂

Id say asking why is just poor wording which considering we have a literacy crisis that shouldnt be shocking lol it is a misconstructed question because there isnt necessarily a why most of the time. Why would be, unfair refs, a good player with an injury etc, how is what you wrote out, the literal scoring summaries

But in this context, “how did they arrive to that score” is the same as “why did they arrive to that score” Why they arrived to 11-0: 1 TD, 2 point conversion and a field goal How they arrived to 11-0: 1 TD, 2 point conversion, and a field goal

Which is exactly what I said ... most of the time there is no 'why' so why vs how becomes the same question in that scenario

No, what YOU said was “asking why is just poor wording”. If how and why are the same question in this context, then it’s not poor wording, because it’s THE SAME QUESTION. Also you gave a different answer for why (unfair refs, a good player with an injury) than how (the different types of scores the team got), but if why and how are the same question (in this context), then to me they have the SAME EXACT ANSWER (which i laid out in my previous response)
