Reply to comment by dvmark in ELI5: What is a “Strawman” argument? by dclover27

That’s not what a strawman is. A strawman argument is a fallacy in which you deliberately misrepresent your debate opponent’s position, because your version of their position is easier to argue against than their actual position.
