Shouldn't the subject matter of what to practice a highly personal one in the first place? By the time when one reaches maturity, (s)he should have the mental faculty to reason about some of the matters that needs to be addressed, which is the whole point of practicing in the first place.
It is not to say that people realize all the things that should be addressed, but then again, no issue is truly a problem if it is only the beholder that is alarmed, since the originator of the 'perceived issue' is the one that has actual stakes involved.
Therefore, there exists no reason to be defensive, apologetic or even compromising when one is seeking an opinion about a subject matter. An opinion is an opinion, and one should be expected to develop a conclusion of one's own and take full responsibility for such decision.
After all, maturity is about reasoning and problem solving on one's own and not leaving it to the convenience of others, as well as not about seeking the approval of others. In some sense, I personally feel that Liam has already formed his own conclusion, and that this discussion serves no purpose for the intended beneficiary.
