I mean, sealioning is absolutely a thing and it can be hard to tell sometimes, but I definitely think I can tell. I still responded mostly to show anyone lurking here that they can get challenged and will have something to chew on.
I mean personally, even if I was all but certain that the questioner was being disingenuous, I wouldn't let it get to me. I would see absolutely no harm at all come from taking the question on good faith and providing a sensible answer. In fact, I'd argue that it's the most effective approach, even in those cases.
