-"the question is based on a false premise"
-"the question is factually inaccurate"
-"the question includes a misquotation"
-"the question includes a quotation taken out of context"
-"the question is objectionable"
-"the question is based on a false alternative"

Attacking the questioner

Declining to answer by:
-refusing on grounds of inability
-being unwilling to answer

-pleading ignorance
-placing the responsibility to answer on someone else
