'Playing Devil's advocate'.
Mostly because most people who use it do so in glaringly wrong ways.
I disagree. I play the devil's advocate every now and than just to show how biased people can get. I want to introduce some reflection into the discussion so people could at least try to see a different point of view.
Devil's advocacy is supposed to be, ultimately, constructive to the discussion. If that's what you're doing, then good on you. A lot of people just do it to throw a spanner in the works.
