well when you define the context and the site you got your definition then it can mean anything you want it to.
Wikipedia : In common parlance, a devil's advocate is someone who takes a position for the sake of argument
Idioms : One who argues against a cause or position either for the sake of argument or to help determine its validity.
Yourdictionary.com : a person who upholds what is regarded as the wrong side or an indefensible cause, perversely or for argument's sake
yes there are many definitions and many uses for a devils advocate. yes you found one and it wasn't what i meant.
Congratulations, you can argue for the sake of arguing, or maybe just feel the need to not have misinterpreted what i said. Either way, i wasn't wrong. Your simply clinging to the first google hit you got and arguing it to death. Feel free to continue and prove my point.
