What you fail to understand is you acting like this right is revokable manufacturers consent for revoking rights.
If you were smart you wouldn't play devil's advocate, you wouldn't help the devil
It's called steel-manning, and it's an important way of testing your own claims. You want to make the best possible argument for you opponen't beliefs, and then be ready with a strong counterargument. ...Which does assume good-faith, rational disagreement.
At this point if you don't want to acknowledge that arguing in bad faith is a bad thing to do then you have already chosen your side.
Of course it's a bad thing. But I want my side to work in good faith rather than assuming that everything they disagree with is bad faith. I don't want to be associated with ppl that are also acting largely in bad faith; I want to be better than that.
