If the presupositions in your question are too far against the norms of the person you are talking to they will reject the question. As a blatent example if you don't like fish and I ask you something about your favourite fis restuarant you are likely to reject the question. The art of persupositional questioning really comes when you start covertly changing things like beliefs and self image with questions. This is something we will discuss in a blog post sometime soon. Thanks for the comment Rintu Hi Turil

I've had this happen (somewhat violently) once when I was using it on someone else, and also when someone used it on me in return. My guess is that if the presupposition goes too far against the natural inclinations and desires and capabilities of the individual, it will act against rapport. In the case I mention, the presupposition we were implying was something that at the time we did want on some level, but also really didn't want on another level. I suppose this is a good example of needing the NLP goals to be ecologically sound for them to work well.
