RE: Straw man


Here's a pertinent example for pc taken from the Oxford Companion to
philosophy;

Against someone who has taken a 'green' position, an opponent might
construct a 'straw man fallacy' by suggesting that she, in wanting to make
the earth into a natural place like it was hundreds of years ago, would
require the elimination of industrial production.
