Devil's Advocate

Playing the Devil's advocate is not usually encouraged. I still do it all the time, but people get annoyed.

Examples:

- "OK, but let's ASSUME that gravity is real, Anna...I know it's just a "theory," but stop playing Devil's Advocate. Please."

- "You're seriously going to argue that because the world could end tomorrow, you want to give away all your possessions?"

- "Anna, comparing playing Piano with your toes to Trigonometry is not a valid argument"

I will continue to play Devil's Advocate inside and outside of class however, because often, there is true benefit to playing with an argument, just for "fun."
