Off the main point (though on an earlier one),
but would this question be appopriate given {mi
vecnu zo'e ta}?  {zo'e} indicates that it is
unnecessary to mention an argument here, since it
is either obvious or indifferent.  In either
case, checking on a particular choice seem beside
the point, though can be saved with a bit more
context.  These question patterns are more
natural, however, with {da} or {vecnu fi ta}.
