This is the major problem I see with my view that I'm unsure how to resolve though. Devil's Advocates may in practice be merely straw men generators.

You may only generate straw men while you attempt to generate steel men, but how many steel men are you likely to make if you don't even try to make them?

You can always fail, but not trying guarantees failure.
