What you described is not the Socratic questioning methodology, but a bastardized version which doesn't explore thought on the way to and of why the answer you arrive upon is correct.

The reasoning being is, among other aspects, that you say agree with them but both Plato and Socrates often held different views to people whom they were speaking to, or at least in part. In the dialogues they each have thats clear and they offer alternative thought and examples which lead the questioning in the desired direction by working them through the train of thought in a logical manner and exploring why this direction and answer are correct.

What you describe is using pajeet tier Socratic questioning methodology to manipulate people into your point of view.
