Maybe Andy Kerman can offer some insight. He seems to know lawyerly things.

The fact that he had to ask makes me think he did think it was possible.

"I know it's preposterous" is what he said. He asked anyway, and she
agreed that it was preposterous. You can beat this dead horse as hard
as you like, but what was asked and answered is what was asked and
answered.

You left off the second half where he asks if it's preposterous, which
completely undercuts his introductory phrase.

"I know the fire truck is red, but *is* it red, do you think?"

That indicates you're not really sure the truck is red after all.

like a TV host would do.

Followed by "but is it preposterous?", which negates it. #ButMonkey

EX:
"I know Barrack Obama is an American, but is he really an American?"
"I'm sorry, but..."
Etc.

There's that, of course, but he was asking Schiavo if she, too, thought
it was preposterous. She did.

"I know it's preposterous" is a flat statement that permits no escape
or evasion.
