Editor: "incorrect question"?

Well, 命題 means "proposition", so you'd think that a 偽命題 would also have to take the form of a proposition. But a proposition is an *assertion*, not a question.

And indeed some of your references say that a 伪命题 can only be a proposition (命题), not a question (问题).
E.g. “伪命题”首先应当是个“命题”——或者说起码在形式上近似一个“命题”。很多时候人们滥用“伪命题”一词,其实是想说“伪问题”“伪概念”“伪课题”。 [from the first zhihu reference]

Evidently, actual usage clashes with what prescriptivists would accept.

One other thing: "incorrect question" is ambiguous. It can refer to a grammatically incorrect question, or it may be a question that a quizmaster mistakenly asks when he reads the wrong card, and so on.

Examples of usage:
今天文學界習慣以西方文類概念來整合中國文學,因此出現西方文類概念無法解釋的問題。例如過去受西方衝擊,從章太炎、蘇曼殊、胡適、聞一多、林庚一路問下來:中國的史詩在哪裡?有人由《詩經》找片段,組合起來,認為是中國的史詩。但我認為,那可能是在尋找本來就不存在的東西。追問古代中國為何沒有規模宏大的史詩,在我看來,是偽命題。需要追問的,應該是:為何中國人不要史詩,反而從杜甫到黃遵憲,把敘事給詩情化,因而有源源不絕的詩史?
Today people in the literary world are in the habit of interpreting Chinese literature according to Western categories of literary form, and hence we have the problem that Chinese literature doesn't fit into those categories. For instance, in the past, under Western influence, people from Zhang Taiyan and Su Manshu to Hu Shih, Wen Yiduo and Lin Geng have asked: Where is Chinese epic poetry? Someone has assembled sections from the Book of Songs and called them Chinese epic poetry. But I believe this may be a search for something which never existed. Asking why China has no epic poetry is a meaningless question. I would say the question we ought to ask is this: If the Chinese had no epic poetry, why is it that from Du Fu to Huang Zunxian they poeticized narrative, thereby creating an endless supply of epic poetry?

事实上,关于普京是否回归的问题就是伪命题,因为他从没真正撒手俄罗斯的权利,只是换了一个头衔而已。
In fact, the question of Mr Putin's return is artificial, for he has never really left power in Russia, but simply switched job title.

所谓中国将成为美国主要对手甚至取代美国的臆测是一个伪命题。
The so-called speculation that China will be the main rival of, or even replace the US, is a false proposition.

这是一道伪命题
I mean this is crazy.

但如果问题本身就是伪命题,那么答案就可想而知了。
But there are no right answers to wrong questions.

首先要指出一点,选择容器还是VM这本身就是一个伪命题,你完全可以同时使用这两种技术。
The first point to make is that containers vs VMs is a false dichotomy; there's no reason you can't use both.
