A Judgmental question requires a long answer. Judgmental questions are formed according to the following abstract specification: "What value does the answerer place on an idea or advice?". An example of Judgmental question would be: "What do you think of this operational definition?" [1]

Example (1): In this example the explainer makes judgemental questions as an explanation move.

-Explainer:	[So, what do you think of that?, What do you think of origami?]----> Judgmental questions
-Explainee:	['I think that the people that make them are talented.', "It's hard.", "Seeing the stuff that we've made here,", "I'd bet that they could do rocket ships.", 'Just so much that you can do with them.']
-Explainer:	['Thanks for coming.']
-Explainee:	['Thanks for having me.']

Example (2): This example shows where the explainee makes judgmental questions.

-Explainer: ['Maybe a wiring diagram is not sufficient to understand', 'the brain, and it would be crazy to think that that would be', 'sufficient, actually.']
-Explainee: ['If you limit the connectome to be just the wiring diagram', 'without, you know, more information about myelination', 'or glial cells, all types of environmental features that', 'surround the neurons and axons then you have an incomplete', 'picture, no doubt.']
-Explainer: ['Sometimes when people get, they worry about connectomics,', "I think what they're actually worrying about is that", "it's the end of the that we used to do neuroscience."]
-Explainee: [What do you think about memory?, Do you think that there's ways of resolving what the substrate of human memory is, you know, is it just LTP and LTD?] ----> Judgmental questions
-Explainer: ["I'm not sure if you had a connectome of a human brain,", 'of an adult human, I would be able to read out', 'memories from that.']
