    If you were smart you wouldn’t play devil’s advocate, you wouldn’t help the devil

      It’s called steel-manning, and it’s an important way of testing your own claims. You want to make the best possible argument for you opponen’t beliefs, and then be ready with a strong counterargument. …Which does assume good-faith, rational disagreement.

          Of course it’s a bad thing. But I want my side to work in good faith rather than assuming that everything they disagree with is bad faith. I don’t want to be associated with ppl that are also acting largely in bad faith; I want to be better than that.
