It’s simply a kind of ask/answer debate format. But it’s not meant to be argumentative, it’s meant to be positive or learning. In the positive light of a Socratic debate we would never answer a question with “No” but then we would also never pose a question using duplicitous language prompting such an argument. I guess to put it simply, the Socratic method is a conversation that tries to answer a question in an intellectual manner rather than argumentative or contradictory manner.
