That's right. Because not everyone is capable of exploring the ramifications on their own.
Those who are vocal enough here can go through the rigors, it isn't much of an ask. I have faith that everyone can.
Also, opinions are pretty much easy to spout; the discussions are primarily for the people on the forums to refine their opinions, in essence you're giving Larian the tldr each iteration.

It's very easy to escape bickering, it is a forum post after all and you have plenty of time to respond and to craft your questions.

Because it's a component of empathy which is crucial to understanding player mentality and your interlocutors? Also, on a personal note, because you need to express the reasons you've come to this conclusion and if you have any mental blocks so other people can help you out? Part of an open dialog really.

Internal scrutiny and bullet-proofing arguments as well as exploring perspectives is rarely a wasted effort because you're always needing to hone your heuristics. It's a digression though.
In summation, we can come to an agreement and cooperate.
