A devil's advocate is not an annoying person but someone who argues against something he truly believes in or hopes to be true in order to provide a debate and help prove the point in stronger ways and show onlookers that contrary opinions were considered. It comes from canonization process in Vatican where someone (who is not an actual satan worshiper or against the church) argued in favor of the devil (against the candidate) to force the other pro-sainthood side to provide good solid proof of the sainthood, miracles done, etc. of the candidate. What you're doing is just being annoying by nitpicking the casual wording. There is no debate to be had from "parentheses are kinda operators" and the meaning of the original line was understandable, even if you consider parentheses operators.
