Stop trying to disguise your insincere trolling as the Socratic method.

If you label something as a "strawman", that means you are already aware of distinct and relevant differences between it and the "real" thing.

But instead of presenting those things that you claim to already have, you're running away, unable to explain your own words! Much like someone that hurled "strawman" as a reflexive insult after they felt uncomfortable reading the text.



My position is the literal meaning of my words in everyday usage.

Your rhetorical games belie your ability to engage in simple discussion.

Good luck!
