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.
