This is how wikipedia defines it.
In common parlance, a devil’s advocate is someone who takes a position for the sake of argument. This process can be used to test the quality of the original argument and identify weaknesses in its structure.
Sometimes I play dumb instead of playing devil’s advocate sometime I do play devil’s advocate , it depends on the situation. If the person I am arguing with is someone I have to be very respectful I will play dumb instead of being devil’s advocate.
Do you play devil’s advocate sometimes ?
Do you hate people who play devil’s advocate ?
You have other sources to verify wikipedia articles and you can also dispute it if you have credible evidence.
