Oh I can shad a light on that! Hope it's not en pair with the shelter animal hunting though.
When we're in a fast paces dialogue with a high level of rapport I start speaking my thoughts before they're finished - and it happens that a thought starts out as "my opinion is ..." And in the middle transfers to "oh it would be way more interesting what your thoughts on this are!". Or I'm mentally distracted and fall back to the monologue voice ....
Either way: the flow of the sentence already started as a statement and now I want to make sure that it's clear that your input is wanted and appreciated - and instead of saying "and perhaps that sounded like a statement but please treat it as a question" I fall back to "question mark."
