The question seems like it has more levels of indirection in it than necessary. I mean, to pass an ITT is to behave/speak/write just like someone with the views you’re pretending to have. So how is “Say you believe X and want to pass an ITT by arguing not-X. What would you say?” different from “Say you believe not-X and want to defend it. What would you say?” or, even, just “What are the best arguments for not-X?”?
