Contrarian:
Someone who suffers from a cognitive bias known as reactance.
Reactance occurs when a person feels that someone is trying to limit their choices.
That reactance causes the person to adopt a view that's contrary to what the group
thinks.
It's not a good or bad trait, but it does make cooperation difficult within the group
as insignificant issues often become time-wasting arguments for no reason other
than to feed a need to be contrarian.
