Not really to me, no. Questions can contain false hidden assumptions, be leading, be rhetorical, be impossible to answer coherently etc. But only answers can be incorrect. Questions are not claims about anything.

One of the people doing primary research into the mathematical formalization
of natural language called Montague Grammar proposed that questions are
statements with a piece missing.

The above incorrect question can be translated into its equivalent statement
The current time is "no". This statement is the same kind of nonsense as
this very famous statement.

RE: Does the idea of incorrect questions make sense?
※→ et al,

Does this notion of incorrect question make sense?
(RESPONSE)

• Yes, it is is possible to have an incorrect question.
  For instance: Any question that is ambiguous. What is the best best color for man?
  
• Any question in which the object is beyond description is incorrect.
  For instance: Who is the Supreme Being? What is the First Cause?
  
• Any scientific question that is untestable.
  For instance: Where is the center of the universe?

etc,

Yes, it is is possible to have an incorrect question. — Rocco Rosano

I accepted your answer. You cited many more good examples.

An incorrect question is defined as a question that lacks a correct
answer because there is something wrong with the question. — PL Olcott

Uummm... I see a greater problem with the artificial constraint of the set of possible answers than I do with the questions, per sè.

Is it incorrect to ask what the value of π is?

Every yes/no question only has {yes, no} as a correct answer.

Every yes/no defined such that no {yes, no} answer exists is
probably an incorrect yes/no question.

yes/no questions defined to contradict both yes/no answers
are incorrect questions.

No, one merely provides the algorithm for obtaining this value.

It would have a bit more bite to it if he replaced "colourless ideas" with an actual colourless idea.

No... It can be answered as a ratio.

Is it incorrect to ask what the value of π is?

(COMMENT)

This is a question related to the cousin • "infinity." ( ∞ )

No mathematics is perfect. Mathematics is NOT related to truth or some other reality. PI ( π ) is a ratio [(22:7 or 22/7) or (a geometric ratio of the circumference to the diameter)]. There is no exact equivalent in the decimal form (base 10). A calculator gives you an answer in terms of a never ending line of successive approximations until it exhausts its memory.



There are entire books written on the subject of "infinity." I tried to understand the Bertrand Russel's (1872-1970) writings (text) when I was studying "idealism." To be honest, I reached my "limit" before I reached the end of the text. (Pun Intended)

His point was that a thing requiring mutually exclusive properties cannot exist.

No... It can be answered as a ratio. — Rocco Rosano

So the question: What time is it (yes or no)? can be answered with a ratio?

It seems to me like you can definitely ask bad questions. This gets at problems in the sciences re paradigms and theory ladeness.

Your questions about phenomena are informed by your theories. You examine your data, empirical findings, in light of the existing paradigm.

It seems to me like you can definitely ask bad questions. — Count Timothy von Icarus

The term {bad} has too much subjective leeway of interpretation compared {incorrect} that hss no subjective leeway.

An incorrect question is defined as a question that lacks a correct
answer because there is something wrong with the question. — PL Olcott

"something wrong" also seems a little imprecise.
A self-contradictory question is a specific kind of {something wrong} here is an example of that:

Can Carol correctly answer “no” to this [yes/no] question? — PL Olcott

What time is it (yes or no)? — PL Olcott

Is an example of a type mismatch error.

Science necessarily entails elements of subjectivity. After all, it's about what we (subjects) think is going on in the world.

Correct/incorrect itself also seems to presuppose some sort of purpose. What is correct/incorrect "of itself?"

To be sure, you have examples of questions that cannot be answered due to problems of self-reference, but that seems like a subset of bad questions. Same with the examples of "begging the question." It seems to me that questions are bad or incorrect as regards the purposes for asking them.

I brought these same ideas up in the logic forum and they stopped getting any replies.

I am referring to the subset of expressions of language that either have no subjectivity
or whatever subjectivity they have is not relevant to the objective determination of correct
versus incorrect.

RE: Does the idea of incorrect questions make sense?
※→ et al,

Time is not a ratio (per sa). When you say time, you have to think in terms of space-time. The two are inseparable.

There is nothing wrong with the question concept. However it can be criticized as a fallacy known as a "False Dilemma." Then again, my answer might be considered hasty.

My thumbnail answer is probably somewhat difficult to understand.
SHORT ANSWER: YES (Qualified)

What time is it (yes or no)? can be answered with a ratio?

Time is actually a dimensional coordinate in a space where the 3-dimentional coordinate "x" axis = 0, "y" axis = 0 "z" axis = 0 (a coordinate) shifts in location. Time is on a continuum in which frequency is a difference in location as observed by an outside observer. Time is measured as the inverse of frequency. This is to say that the ˙∆t between the one location (x,y,z) and the velocity (v) to the next location (x' , y' , z').

1/freq = time. and. 1/time = freq

This is done all the because nothing is motionless. When you say three o'clock, you are talking about a single coordinate in the past. If you say one Megahertz (1.0E-6 Seconds), you are talking about traveling in time at this moment.

(Note: Even at the speed of light (c), no outside observer is stationary, The outside observer is always looking into the past, but the frequency shifts due to the doppler effect.)

When an incorrect question is defined as any question lacking a correct answer
because there is something wrong with the question, the the question

What time is it (yes or no)?
cannot be answered because of the type mismatch error.

is a statement that is nonsense because of type mismatch errors.

Though one can argue there's no such thing as an inherently "yes/no" question, just askers not interested in the whole truth, instead seeking to artificially constrain answerers with arbitrary "rules" predefining "acceptable" answers.

If you are in a courtroom and asked a yes/no question and fail to answer
with a yes/no answer you could be cited for contempt of court and sent to jail.

Exactly my point. Lawyers are almost universally understood to be a prime example of someone uninterested in the truth, and instead seek to manipulate others to give answers that serve the lawyer's best interest.

In the court of law dishonest dodges and deceit land you in jail.
Judge to Bill: Did you murder Mary or not?
Bill: What even does the word "murder" mean?
Bill: Many people are said to "murder" the English language.
Judge: Answer the question or be charged with contempt of court.

Nah, much more likely to be:

L. Did you strike my client with your fist? Yes or no.
D. Well, he came at me with a tire iron...
L. I asked you YES or NO did you strike my client with your fist?
J. Please answer yes or no.
