Er, "without question" wasn't part of either
formulation.

It's entirely possible to want to do something
someone has requested that you do, for any
number of reasons, and after extensive questioning.

What Barry seems to be suggesting is that you
should never want to do anything someone has
requested that you do.  Questioning such a 
request, according to Barry, should *always*
result in your deciding you don't want to do
whatever it is.
