But isn't that just a plain old straw man?
- dpkirchner 2y agoIt's similar, I think. It's a straw man with the goal of appearing smarter than the person asking the question rather than just making an argument.
- ajuc 2y agoRegular strawman is stealthily changing the thesis, this is doing it in the open and pretending you're doing it in good faith because you're so much smarter than the other guy.
