Yes it is. It's a strawman to question whether I'm right or not, rather than test it first and confirm that I'm right. A way to stale the discussion by insinuating your opponent might not know what she's talking about, in lack of proper arguments of your own. In other words, a strawman.
You can assume I test things before answering, because otherwise I'll write out clearly that I'm not sure. |
No, a strawman is a similar but purposefully flawed version of an opponent's argument that is easier to defeat.
