There is a difference between debating and instigating.
Debating involves respecting that perspectives other than one's own may have merit and, on that basis, having a good faith discussion.
Instigating, in this context, means insisting on poorly-considered perspectives without respecting the views of others or even, sometimes, respecting relevant facts.
