According to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary Eleventh Edition, rhetorical is defined as something "asked merely for effect with no answer expected." If you ask a question without expecting or wanting an answer, that would still be a "rhetorical question" whether or not someone answers. Rhetorical questions can also be used if there is an obvious answer, example : "Do pigs fly?"

Side: Yes

Yes. When I say "what is wrong with you?" I already know the answer.

Yes, it is a question where the answer is unnecessary. Usually the person asking the question doesn't desire an answer or explanation.
