A discussion on Avodah can focus exclusively on the relevant halachic
issues. A decision of what to do in practice has to include deferring
to the position that actually is backed by recognized posqim.

And one side's unwillingness to ask the question on this level itself
becomes a relevant halachic issue.

However, the following is true anyway:
