Objection! Leading the Witness!

Do you see where I am coming from on this? Forcing people down an alley in their answer.

Let me pose four scenarios:

1. "There are two choices: X and Y. Which of the two do you prefer?"
   
2. "I believe there are two choices: X and Y. Which of the two do you prefer?"
3. "Others have said there are two choices: X and Y. Which of the two do you prefer?"
4. "For the purposes of this discussion, let's assume two choices: X and Y. Which of the two do you prefer?"
   

Would you find an objection with any of those?

You seem to indicate that making a declarative statement is okay, since it's then up to the listener to believe it or not ("Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6, KJV). Jesus never asked anyone to choose between alternatives. I'd gather you'd be okay with the declarative portion of #1, but not the question posed later?

If you have a problem with all four of them, are you then suggesting that it is invalid to suggest a limited set of alternatives when there is always the possibility that other options exist ... even ones we do not yet know about?
