OK.
Now - please bear with me.

If I said:
Pit bulls are unpredictable - for instance, they may appear to be friendly and then suddenly attack, unprovoked. This unpredictability is one reason why pit bulls are dangerous.

Would THAT also be “begging the question”, or have I sufficiently explained the unpredictability?

Simply saying they’re unpredictable does not make it so. Have you ever met a friendly pit bull who suddenly attacked you? Have you got studies to show this happens more with pit bulls than other dogs?
