Because most people know what a rhetorical question is?
Maybe you should look it up then. Because, if you answer it for them, it's not really rhetorical, is it?
I think you missed the part where I framed it as if I was having a conversation with the person? You're clearly angry about my choice of literary devices. Sorry to upset you.
Have a nice day.
No, that part was very apparent. You having a make believe conversation where you spoke for the other person is the source of our entire conversation. It's not a literary device, though, is the problem.
Also, as long as we're talking about literary devices immediately trying to frame anyone who disagrees with you as "angry" is a classic. Not a device from any respectable literature though of course.

You dropped these
I hope one day you'll be to actually comprehend that.
Me too, thanks!
