They do not really have to deal with the other person's situation, and so can avoid the consequences of any hypothetical decisions they arrive at. Hypothetical decisions are not as risky as real decisions which call for real action and real consequences. Thus many people prefer to deal with hypothetical situations rather than their own real situations. People often give to others advice which they have generated by asking themselves hypothetical questions about what the other persons should do. Such unsolicited advice is rarely welcome, but it serves the purpose of helping the advisor keep the advisor's mind off the advisor's dilemmas. Often scholarly people ask themselves and their students hypothetical questions which serve the purpose of keeping the discussion at an abstract level which scholarly people can deal with comfortably. It is much less embarrassing to deal with hypothetical abstract questions, than to deal with the ever present real dilemmas in the lives of scholars and their students. Thus they avoid risky personal intimacy. Sometimes people insist that others respond to hypothetical questions which are of no interest to those who are asked to respond. The people who so insist may want to be in control in the manner of the addict who attempts to appear to be in control in dishonest ways. Such apparent control of discussion by means of hypothetical questions serves to keep the discussion from drifting towards really dealing with the real dilemmas which face the participants in the discussion. People who eagerly participate in such discussions are in the process of creating a collusion within which their real dilemmas will be defined not to exist; and will apparently not exist, will be unknown.
