It’s surprising how many questions ending with a question mark are blown off by the person being questioned, because they don’t know what a question mark is.

It's surprising how many people backpedal and claim their rhetorical questions aren't, because their assumptions about the other person are rebutted.

"So you think ______?" isn't a question. It's a statement of fact with a misplaced question mark. If you want information, ask: "So, do you think ______?"

“So you think?” is not the question I asked. Go back and read it again, or maybe for the first time. I asked a question. You are the one back pedaling. I’m no longer asking the question. You’ve answered it. Yes, you were saying exactly what you appeared to be saying. You just don’t have the courage to admit it, now that I’ve pointed out how stupid it was.
