Example: I am listening to you as you describe a new idea. I like your idea. But I want to explore (test) the advantages and disadvantages, pro's and con's. So I will try to imagine the “downsides” of your new idea, what could go wrong, what might fail, negative implications. It is said that I am acting as DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, as representative of the devil who would want your new idea to FAIL.
Playing devil's advocate is a technique for discovering the weak points before the launch of a new idea.

Usually the expression is 'to play the devil's advocate'. This means to take a position against someone to make them think hard to give you answers or to stimulate a response. I did this once in a lesson where students weren't talking. I wrote on the board that their national food was rubbish! It certainly stimulated a reaction.
