I guess we have different understandings of what "Devil's Advocate"
means. The way I use it is, "I don't believe this to be true but
there's a chance somebody might possibly have this perspective."
If you're saying there's no chance somebody might have that perspective
then that's OK with me. If you're saying I shouldn't mention that
somebody might possibly have that perspective then I'll have to start
yelling, "come see the violence inherent in the system!" and refer back
to Ben's transparency thesis.
