I think you are taking people's participation in this forum too seriously. The very idea that we would need a "free pass" or that this is "win or lose" is ridiculous, in my opinion. Even the fact that we should be compared to the "great debaters of youtube (lmao)" is kind of silly. I don't mean to deride you. It's just weird that you are holding us to any standard at all.
I think that anyone who values reason and critical thinking should take the time to seriously question their beliefs (which means taking the kinds of questions that get asked on this forum seriously); anyone who values knowledge should attempt to cultivate as much of it as possible (which means not wasting opportunities to learn).
Who wants to live an unexamined life?
