When you do this you assume that an actual person's opinions have no nuance from the larger group.
Also, you inject an adversarial tone into the dialogue.
Was that your goal? To me, it shuts off the possibility of honest, open exchange of ideas, and characterizes the conversation as a debate.
I find debate to be the least useful form of disseminating information. Neither side of the debate is allowed to change their stance, all arguments are premeditated, and balance means that all opinions have equal factual footing.
I'm generally in agreement with your analysis beyond the introduction.
