When I say devil’s advocate, I mean I am the typical Apple fanatics devil’s advocate. That doesn’t mean I take their position and defend it, it means I test their argument by opposing their ideas. Are you mistakenly misunderstanding the definition of a devil’s advocate?
Nope, I submit you are. Unless you're claiming now that you are a stealth Apple fanboy, trashing them only because you're playing devil's advocate. ;-)
As in the definition you quoted, being "the devil's advocate" means "advocating the opposing position". For instance:
Suppose you are arguing in favor of "A" and I'm arguing in favor of "B". You might then say, "Let me play devil's advocate, and take the 'B' position", so that you can point out an inconsistency or weak part of my argument.
Alternatively, let's say you and I agree on "A". No one is around to champion "B". So you might say, "I'll play devil's advocate and argue in favor of 'B'", so that we can find its weak points better.
So since you have been arguing AGAINST Apple very consistently in this thread, I must conclude that your real position is anti-Apple, and that if you played "devil's advocate" you would be defending Apple's position. Okay, that's fine. So I ask again:
Please show me, in your comments, where you took and defended Apple's position (one you disagree with) for the sake of argument to test it.
