The point is: I dont go looking for a certain DOF or blur and let that decide my framing.

I compose to get the shot I want.

That was a striking face in this case so I came close.

His chest and waist were far less interesting...

DOF is a secondary consideration at best.

And I am not in a position to debate it. I thought the reason you posted this image (and you said it) was to show how the subject isolation works with 25mm lens on FT format. My first impression was that the framing was way too tight even for the sake of a face alone. And for the same (similar) subject isolation this image could have looked completely different on larger format.
