Default Re: Has there been a question thread before?

Surely you realise that the use of "surely" in this instance, although mid-way and not simply at the start of a sentence, nor used in the standard position before any auxilary verbs or, for that matter, as a discourse connective, is one where the use of an adverb of certainty predefines the interrogative intent?
