Nor is it rhetorical when you ask a question and then spend several lines going on about it, and making it clear that you really did want to talk about an answer.

You can poorly circle (do you need to see a doctor…?) as many of my comments as you like, it won’t change what I actually said.

Schrodinger’s rhetorical question is when you decide whether your question was rhetorical or not based on people’s reaction to it.
