Thanks for noticing. It's a shame how 'begging the question' got so lost somewhere along the way. The more common usage is an important concept, but the original fallacy is probably a more important idea.
Also, arguably, either meaning could apply here, haha...

The other version isn't that you have an answer setup, it just means the statement invites or forces one to ask the question.
