You're playing devil's advocate, right?

  Not really. Just expressing a point of view.

    A devil's advocate expresses a point of view. Specifically, they express a point of view that they do not agree with.

      It's more than that. Playing devil's advocate means you're expressing the opposite point of view when you don't really hold that point of view, but you're doing it to prove a point.

        Indeed. jnardiello was asked if that is what they were doing, or if they genuinely hold that view; and they haven't given a definitive answer.
