In idle chat one usually doesn't worry too much about any of this ... it's idle chat.
As you get a broader audience, some people will start to question things more deeply: ask for definitions, try to specify scope, etc.
The questions you ask are reasonable when taking that deeper dive, and I suspect that we all mostly agree on mostly everything.
But we can, I think, all agree that one's time is not "free", it's worth thinking about how we spend the limited time we have, and how to make sure we spend it wisely, for ourselves, and for others.
None of this deeper contemplation is well-suited to the "clever quip" format ... though it definitely has a place elsewhere.
But to go back to the original ...
