You need to clear up your muddled thought and expression, Neal. Are you

Which = Subject = noun
is = Verb
why = Object = noun

doubtlessly is a modifier of why. Therefore, it follows that doubtlessly is
an adjective, not an adverb.

ad.jec.tive \"a-jik-tiv\ n : a word that typically serves as a modifier of a
noun - ad.jec.ti.val \'a-jik-"tï-v?l\ adj - ad.jec.ti.val.ly adv
