Pet peeve time.
The phrase "begs the question" doesn't mean what most people seem to think it means. Begging the question is a logical mistake in an argument.
It is when someone (inadvertantly) assumes a certain answer to a question, when trying to answer that question. For instance, in the debate about whether there is a god, it would be begging the question to say "Well, god says in the Bible that...." See?
You mean "Which leads to another question..." Unless I am really misunderstanding you.
