Demonstrating that you understand the position you argue against has been a standard since Plato,
so in one form or another it has been said by many.

But you are not wrong. Mill argues to that effect in Chapter 2 of On Liberty, part of a critique of censorship/defense of free thought.

He takes it a step further adding that one doesn't "know" one's own views if one doesn't understand objections to them.
