Grammar Girl says:
<http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/begs-the-question?page=all>
"Don't
use "begs the question" to mean "raises the question."

To beg a question does not mean to "raise the question," rather it is a
fallacy of logic meaning "to assume the conclusion of an argument—a type of
circular reasoning."

For example, "Agriculture destroys native vegetation and is thus harmful to
honey bees."

Just informing the Informed List : )
