It is pretty clear to me that Devil’s Advocacy is valuable for precisely the reasons in the link Eliezer added at the end of the post (Brandon).

The only reason I haven’t posted my draft “Against Devil’s Advocacy” is that someone beat me to the punch and I didn’t want to make a redundant post. I endorce links to ‘Against Devil’s Advocacy’ precisely because it is an important subset of ‘Advocacy’ with all the related problems.
