Consider an analogy to chess - certain questions (or other items on the list) are the first move of a predictable opening, and it is one of the anticipated future moves that is upsetting / enraging.

As a subset of this, sometimes the anticipated future moves are ones that you know are "wrong" / fallacious, but that you know involve a lot of hard work to actually refute in conversation. (Or, sometimes, you might be frustrated because you know you can't refute them.)
