What leads you to believe that you disagree with Eliezer on this point? I suspect that you are just going by the title. I just read the essay and he endorses lots of practices that others call Devil’s Advocacy. I’m really not sure what practice he is condemning. If you can identify a specific practice that you disagree with him about, could you describe it in your own words?
As far as I can tell...nothing. Most likely, there are simply many LessWrongers (like me) that disagree with E.Y. on this point.
