I've always thought of upward inflection at the end of a sentence to be a passive-aggressive means of condescension, used by people with self perceived broad base of knowledge, but little confidence, and low self esteem.

It is annoying. I have to make a concerted effort to listen beyond just hearing the words when I'm being spoken to in that manner.
