I actually find the parent much clearer than your criticism of their lack of clarity!

You assume that they are secretly advocating for something, on the basis that quality of life isn't something private equity cares about (according to your own assumptions). Even if it isnt, so what?

I took would be interested in seeing the proposed model of the different scenarios and I am also not secretly advocating for any particular outcome.

Unknowingly, more likely; not ‘secretly’. I don’t think there’s any intent to withhold an opinion, but the willingness to question precepts at all is itself an opinion (and one that I agree with regardless of topic). Literal religious wars have been fought over that sort of willingness, so I tend to state it more plainly than is typically comfortable.
Got it, thanks. So stating "quality of life is also an important factor, this should be part of any analysis" would be a more up front way to motivate the request.
Yeah!
