Given only three of those are blunt and one is a rock have you ever considered they stopped asking because you are stupid?
Cudgel, mace, flanged mace, maul, warhammer, quarterstaff, and bec de corbin are all pretty undeniably blunt.
Crudgel: yes.
Flanged mace: has flange.
maul: usually is this one has spike's.
Warhammer: blunt on one end but not entirely blunt.
Quarter staff: Yes.
Bec de Corbin: 1/3 blunt not entirely blunt.
A flange is blunt. It's the same concept as the narrowed point of contact of a warhammer.
The maul's protrusions are not the primary purpose of the maul.
That the mere potential for non-blunt attacks renders a weapon non-blunt would also render swords and spears not-sharp by the reversal of that principle.
Counter point you're splitting hair's you couldn't do that with a bunt weapon Check Mate.
