You raise a good point. At the same time "question everything" can go too far sometimes, to the point of rejecting all knowledge (hence "post truth", postmodernism/poststructuralism, etc). There are so many people I've encountered who feel betrayed by the political, medical and scientific establishment, that they have rejected (at least consciously) all scientific knowledge bar none (notwithstanding still using cellphones etc). If you try to argue based on science or logic, or any kind of received authority, then you might as well be the enemy. That's why it's not sufficient merely to question, but is also necessary to have some means of arriving at answers. And moreover answers which are actually practicably testable rather than just glorified opinions.
