Something about it feels like a nice split of responsibilities. “I’ll look for the arguments and evidence for, you look for the arguments and evidence against, and I trust we’ll cover the whole space well.”
Having a slight competition gives me a lot of added energy for searching through arguments about a subject.
I think it makes it less about “me” and more about “the domain”. I don’t have to be tracking what it is that I am personally signaling, because I’m here running a search process as well as I can, not making claims about my personal beliefs.
