    Meh, I enjoy playing Devil's advocate...

    There is quite a difference between being argumentative for the sake of feigning intelligence, and playing devil's advocate in hopes of developing a well rounded argument that has taken all factors into consideration.

    Socratic method=Devils advocate?

    You've got it all wrong. Being smart just makes me look argumentative.
