Yes.

Yes!

Several years ago I dived into books and seminars on effective communication. If I had to reduce it down to a few sentences, they would be:

"Don't ask questions to express concerns. Learn how to express concerns directly in a non-threatening manner without asking questions. Ask questions only when genuinely trying to get information. Never ask leading questions. Don't ask questions to inform or educate."

The Socratic approach is rarely an effective one. Proponents of the Socratic approach almost always blame the other party when it doesn't work (and it typically doesn't work).

It applies to most forms of conversation, including code reviews.
