Close. Someone who argues a position he doesn't agree with as a means of testing the soundness of and identifying weaknesses in the original argument. (Unless one wants to be literal about it, in which case it's a canon lawyer who argues against canonization of a saint. Or, for a nod to pop culture, a movie with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves.)
Not hating. Don't assume disagreement means hate, and don't assume hate where none is expressed.
