As I have laboured through a lay persons approach to philosophy this conversation starter website really takes my breath away. In a sense, if you are engaging in philosophy and discussion for some false reason or to create a false impression or to deceive, then I don't think it is a major improvement on bland ignorance.
I am interested in philosophy for two basic reasons. The routes of science; mass and time have emerged from philosophy and our concepts are coloured be our depth or shallowness of our understanding of their origins. There is a difference from experience in the domain of the familiar, and the experience informed by scholarship. You know this as you work relationships in the schoolyard and the difference when as a parent you aid you kid get through those same experiences. From a parent's perspective you understand the need for immersive experience as an innocent and the need for self discovery to embark on a journey to see the complexity of your situations.
There is also some artistry in some of these questions, by post loading the key question with an easy to reduce question that then directs the approach to the main question.
Quantum mechanics gets a key mention as a no-go zone. The question is asked in such away as to lock in misconceptions. It is unsurprising that the difficulty in answering these questions professionally is not the maths but the social framework of the question.
