Editor's Note:
Welcome to this series of serialized essays that should've been called "How Many 'S' Sounds Can I Cram Into The First Sentence?" but is called Devil's Advocate instead.It's called Devil's Advocate because the idea is to explore some topics that I feel we've made a cultural decision on, and I don't agree with the cultural decision. Some are things that we've reached a scientific decision on, and I've got my doubts about the science. Let's do this!
