But, again, I don't believe you. I believe you are NOT interested in the practical consequences of using the string "strawman" when discussing my rendition of the EricC/Nick principle. The reason I don't believe you is because you do NOT talk about the topic in which the string "strawman" was used. You *only* talk about the ambiguity in the string "strawman".

If you did as Steve did and spent a tiny amount of pixels on the ambiguity around the string "strawman", but the majority of your pixels around the actual topic at hand, then I'd believe you were interested in the practical consequences of using "strawman" in that context.

Hell, I'd even be happy if you outright accused me of creating a strawman and then explained (kinda like Steve did) why the ambiguity of "strawman" demonstrates that I've created a strawman.
