Pedant here. No, it does not "beg the question". It raises the question. These are not the same thing. See, for instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

Pedant here. Using "for instance" here implies that you will be providing an example of how begging the question and raising the question are not the same thing. You've provided a definition and a source, not an example.
