    Because it’s not a bad thing to ask another person about their experiences in life. And putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

    Given your logic, no one should ever ask anyone else any question about their personal experiences other than to retrieve information.

      putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

      It won’t create a very interesting debate though, because OP already excluded most people who followed through on the opposing view in the question itself.

      This extra layer of focus really functions as a filter, which can only result in a hall of mirrors.

      It’s perfectly fine if OP just wanted to confirm an existing bias and need arguments for that, but it’s absolutely not a very interesting conversation.
