nomesora,
1) thats not always true. a competent rav will make sure he has all the facts straight, before giving a psak. if the shoel is asking for explanation he can prob find a competent rav that would gladly do that for him too.
2)are u paskening that the spot on a porch cant have a din of meyuchid for tfillah?
3)true. but here we know that the facts are there are many gedolay achronim that view it as a halachick tzibbur.
4)ok feel free to consult a rav if what u deem as dchak shtims with the precedents in halacha that shed insight on what is cosidered dchak.
5)in my circles we are consulting with our poskim often to know exactly what we shud do about this ver sensitive shayla that deals with real shaylos of many brachos levatala as well as the potential to make many minyanim which is obviously a very good incentive.
6)the torah is Hashems transmittion to us of His ratzon of how we should act.
7)i agree there are probably many biases that cud arise in the discussion of this shayla. we find that people put a lot more emotional stock and effort into doing certain mitzvos that may be not nearly as important as others that they do not do. this is why we consult with educated outside opinions who can guide us to do the things that we will gain the most from, while they may not be the things we would feel is the best thing to do. at the same time i would never trust a person who never had any emotional chashivos for minyan, because he may be biased to say that he could sleep until ten for the next month missing minyan without a guilty conscience.
