Not that I don't think the chain of command isn't correct. It is just not good personal/social skills. You don't win friends and influence people by forcing others.
Then you lead a very sheltered life my friend.

"Have you packed these bags yourself and have they been in your control since then?"

"How are you this evening sir?"

"Do you know why I pulled you over this evening sir?"

"How do you plead?"

"Do you take this woman..."

"Does this dress make me look fat?"

"Care to see our wine list?"

"Will you display good sportsmanship throughout the entire game?"

Only an idiot or a sociopath would not understand these questions, among others, require an extremely limited set of answers. With no intent to "belittle".
