layer 23 in qwen 2.5 14b has a feature that activates on rhetorical questions
trained SAE on layer 23, feature 1847 lights up on rhetorical questions with 0.89 consistency across 340 examples. ablating it doesn't break question detection but the model stops generating rhetorical questions in responses. weird because this feels like a style thing not a capability thing. anyone seen similar?

layer 23 rhetorical questions is interesting but also.... did you test if it's actually a rhetorical circuit or just question mark detection? try feeding it statements that are rhetorically phrased but no question mark

layer 23 rhetorical questions - does this generalize to non-English or just trained data patterns?
