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.
