Great question! So, from my personal perspective why and how can both help one arrive at a reasonable answer. For instance, asking why could be considered as a direct inquiry used to get basic information regarding a problem, solution or event. It allows the interviewer or scientist to make a decision about whether or not they need to investigate further. Alternatively, asking how is a possible secondary inquiry that can help enhance and demonstrate a particular hypothesis.
