Would you be inclined to stay at this "cool organization" a moment longer than you have to?

Yes, actually, and I don't see why it is creepy despite your repeated assertions that it is.

Several of them give answers, but all of those answers are variations of the same argument,

And if they gave completely different arguments, you'd complain about the remarkable co-incidence that all these arguments suggest the same policy.

Difference of opinion, then. I would find it creepy as all hell.

And if they gave completely different arguments, you'd complain about the remarkable co-incidence that all these arguments suggest the same policy.

I probably would, yes, but I would still prefer that world to the one in which they gave only one argument.
