English term or phrase: "So what" question

The so what question distinguishes the outstanding papers from the competent ones. The so what question, as its name implies, simply looks at the interpretive claim you’re making and asks, “So what?”

Three other ways to phrase the so what question are as follows: What is significant about your claim? How does this enrich my understanding? What are the implications of your claim? In each case, the reader is asking the writer to look beyond his or her own navel and connect the paper’s idea to a larger conversation in which both the writer and the reader are stakeholders.

Deixaria como perguntas "so what"?
Algum termo específico para o nome desse tipo de pergunta em PTBR?

Obrigada pelas sugestões.
