As the links I’ve posted above indicate, no, lists don’t necessarily require questions to begin noticing joints and carving around them.
Questions are helpful however, to convey the guess I might already have and to point at the intension that others might build on/refute. And so...
Your list doesn’t have any questions like that
...I have had some candidate questions in the post since the beginning, and later even added some indication of the goal at the end.
EDIT: You also haven’t acknowledged/objected to my response to your “any attempt to analyse the meaning independent of the goals is confused”, so I’m not sure if that’s still an undercurrent here.
I have plenty of comments at Zack post you link and I don’t agree with it. As Thomas Khun argued, the fact that chemists and physicists disagree about whether helium is a molecule is no problem. Both communities have reasons to carve out the joints differently. Different paradigms have valid reasons to draw lines differently.
