Should a taunt, which is grammatically correct as a question, be treated like a question or a taunt

I am confused if a question which is placed like a taunt can be taken like a question or like a taunt.

Examples:

• Are you saying so because you built it?


• Is it too much to ask for?

These are grammatically correct questions, but do they sound provoking? Are these necessarily questions, not just grammatically but the way they sound?

Answer

Punctuate taunting questions as questions. To do otherwise would be odd and unclear. The rhetorical, taunting meaning comes through loud and clear.
