"our masseur is denying service to possibly very needy clients."

That is not true. Our masseur indicated that he had an active referral process and the scenario was not built around him being the ONLY option. People tried to squeeze a lot of stuff into the scenario (like this). However, it simply was not the basis for argument.

might help you to increase your knowledge base. But of course you have chosen to restrict that. no problem

I figure the best way to avoid slanting the hypothetical is to assume the background conditions are the same as in the real world unless explicitly stated, or at least strongly hinted at. In the real world Mojo being the only masseur or masseuse around is unlikely enough that I think the normal default assumption would be that he was not. In any case even if he was it doesn't change my opinion that he would not be imposing himself on others as much as the hypothetical Auntie K.
