Evince isn't sane, isn't that obvious?

A query, question, or inquiry cannot be a lie. You just failed logic 101 again.
Yes it can.

The only time a question can be a lie is if you don't expect an answer. If you ask the question in good faith for an answer, no matter how fucked up that question is, it isn't a lie. Only a question made in the form of a statement--eg., not expecting an answer--can be a lie.
Have you stopped beating your wife?

That isn't a lie. It is a complex question that traps the answerer into no good answer. That is a separate fallacy but asking the question doesn't make the asker a liar.
The lie is that you have been beating your wife.
