For the record, since omitting to mention it feels dishonest: what this
originally referred to is the fact that I would sometimes see a
discussion (or an argument) taking place, in which one or more positions
which I felt were important were not being advocated by any side, and so
would enter the discussion and argue one or more of those positions -
whether or not I agreed with them - simply because I felt that the
discussion could not be fully and comprehensively resolved without
taking those positions into consideration.

Admittedly these tended to be philosophical and/or theological
arguments, and the same principle does not so easily apply to more
technical discussions; that may well be part of why, as I said, this
warning is no longer so applicable as once it was. I do, however, still
do much the same thing from time to time.

Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any
side of it.

Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
