This is not true. Sometimes sarcasm is indistinguishable from a genuinely held belief of someone you’re implying is wrong.
In spoken language we shift our tone, usually up and down randomly, while being sarcastic, which can be shown by shifting BEtweEEN CapITal anD LowErcASe. This isnt a great solution though, especially typing on mobile. Just like spoken language you can tell if someone is asking a question by the way the sentence is said, we need a marker for written language to tell the reader it’s a question, which is the question mark. If written language didn’t have this issue we wouldn’t need a question mark either. It does have that issue and we do need a question mark and a sarcasm mark.
