No, you want the conversation to be about one narrow issue. Other people are talking about either different issues or outcomes more broadly. You don't get to define other peoples' points or the direction of the discussion just because you think one element of it is particularly interesting or important to you. Nor do you get to re-cast the context of someone else's comments.
