I think you’re right I misused the devil’s advocate reference. I have been interpreting it to take on the argument of anothers ideas to test them, not my own. My mistake. What is the word for what I am describing then, and do not say troll, lol.

I would just say that you are arguing an anti-Apple position, which is entirely your right.
BTW, my early "troll" comment was because your comment in #9 was clearly baiting Swordmaker. "Trolling" is different from arguing, in that it seeks primarily to piss off others, rather than engage in conversation. We've been having a fine conversation since then...
