I'm so plagued by the tendancy to play Devil's Advocate that people often don't even know what my actual point is. I see all the possible points and comment a little on each one, even conceding to the opposition to let them know that I disagree with them from a place of understanding. But when they hear me stating their position, they think I agree with them. Demonstrating an understanding implies that maybe they could do the same.
