Discussing hypotheticals can be both interesting and useful. It compels someone to describe and apply their morals to situations which might be far more complicated than what they encounter in everyday life, and can in turn help someone appreciate their morals more fully, or highlight flaws when one moral idea conflicts with another. Sure, some thought experiments can be tedious and rather silly, but just because a situation hasn't personally happened to you doesn't mean it isn't worth discussing.
