8. Full of wit, this one

OK, since you don't know the proper meaning of "begs the question", I'll assume that logic is not one of your strong points, as it directly relates to said field. Therefore, it is beyond you to deduct from my cryptic post that you are using the term incorrectly.

"Begs the question" does not mean that it raises the question. It simple terms, it means that circular logic is being applied to an argument.
