What situation ?
There's a mate on the board, the losing player is wasting everyone's time!

What part is "the end" is what we don't agree with, I say that if there's a mate on the board, the game is already over. The mating player has won, the other should resign.

All moves mate, they're all equal! This discussion is about why is a mate in 9 better than a mate in 10, and all the reasons you have given should be applied first to the dumb player that doesn't resign.
And even if you're right, the dumb player deserves trolling for both their failure at playing chess and being unable to find where's the resign button

Hence the best move shortens the no of moves required to win/mate. Hence Best move is necessary.

Equality doesnot exist. Mate in 2 is in lesser moves than mate in 10
and all the reasons you have given should be applied first to the dumb player that doesn't resign.
Straw-man argument. Has nothing to do with finding the
best move. Quicker and faster is a must. Time is important.
Nothing to do with opponent. In ICCF i put conditional moves without much fuss.
applied first to the dumb player that doesn't resign.
Irrelevant for the context of finding the BEST move in a position.
here Qxf6 has +14.56 eval where as other moves are +3 and below. Hence It is the best and saves time and no of moves
FOR ME.
Also if u have found the best defense is mate in 10 any variation will lead to mate in lesser no of moves.
Here the discussion is not at all with opponent. Its about the engine which can find the quickest and shortest way to win.
Here we are not discussing whom are we playing with as we have nothing to do what he does.
Those who cant find the best move in a position where there is a move can give any excuse for their inability.
