In other words, you *like* this one, so you're not going to argue against
it.
I believe Okrand recently told us (or rather, told one of us at a
convention) that questions cannot be objects. In {nuq vIje' vIneH} you have
a question as an object. Whether you like it or not, it is a question as
object sentence.
Perhaps it IS correct, but I haven't seen any objective reason to believe
that.
